THE BEST GUACAMOLE
Simple ingredients in perfect proportion make a this dip a crowd-pleasing favorite for any event. We decided not to use tomato in ours -- it makes the guac watery -- and included both onion and garlic for extra zip. A healthy dose of fresh lime juice balances and brightens the flavors.

THE BEST GUACAMOLE IN THE WORLD
This is the best guacamole I have ever tasted and when I make it everyone loves it. I do not go by a recipe. Everything is pretty much to taste so I hope I figured this recipe pretty well. Also, I do not add salt to mine but everyone else that I know would rather have it salted.

THE BEST EVER GUACAMOLE
This is the tastiest Guacamole. Simple, yet delicious. I was told that this recipe lets the avacado taste shine, some recipes add several spices....cumin, chili powder, etc. I was hesitant, (to make such a bland sounding recipe) but gave it a try. It really is delicious. Use avacados that yield to gentle pressure....not too soft.

THE BEST EVER GUACAMOLE
I found this recipe in an old James Beard cookbook over 25 years ago. People beg me to make it. It's simple and easy and...addictive! Make this appetizer right before serving. To preserve any leftover guac, store it in a container with a minimum of surface area exposed. Smooth out the top of the guac and put plastic wrap directly onto it to minimize oxidation (the browning of the guac). Seal the container tightly.

Steps:
- Mince the garlic (add more or less to taste).
- Dice the onion (ditto).
- Cut avocado in half and twist to separate. Stab the pit with the long sharp edge of your knife: twist it, and the pit will come right out attached to the knife.
- With a spoon, scoop out contents into a glass bowl.
- Add the garlic and onion.
- Using two knives cross-cut the mixture until it is in smaller chunks, then mash with a fork.
- Squeeze in 1/2 the lime, white pepper and salt. Taste. Add more salt and/or lime as needed.
- I don't care for a lot of additions, but cilantro is one I like. Avocados are too subtle, so adding too many other ingredients obscures its wonderful, nutty flavor.
- Also consider black olives, tomatoes (de-seeded and diced) or jalapenos.
- Serve with chips and home-made salsa, or add to any sw or Mexican dish.

Tips:
- Select ripe avocados: The ideal avocados for guacamole should be slightly soft when pressed gently. Avoid avocados that are too hard or too mushy.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients yield the best results, so opt for ripe tomatoes, cilantro, and onion. Fresh lime juice adds a bright acidity that complements the richness of the avocado.
- Adjust the heat level: If you prefer a spicy guacamole, add jalapeño or serrano peppers to taste. Start with a small amount and gradually increase it until you reach the desired heat level.
- Experiment with different flavors: Guacamole is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Try adding other ingredients such as roasted corn, black beans, or pineapple for a unique twist.
- Make it ahead: Guacamole can be made up to a day in advance. Just be sure to store it properly in an airtight container in the refrigerator to prevent browning.
Conclusion:
Guacamole is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed with various snacks and dishes.
