Fresh is always best, right? Learn how to make fresh and delicious guacamole at home with this simple recipe that the whole family will love. It’s made with just a handful of ingredients, this guac is sure to check all of the boxes. Savory, salty, with that perfect hint of lime, every tortilla chip will be wanting a piece.

As the weather heats up and the summer season is in full groove, guacamole is a must for every occasion. Thankfully, making guacamole is as easy as 1-2-3 (literally). If you’ve never made it before, the only steps are to mix all of the ingredients in a bowl and see how much you can eat in one sitting ????.

This avocado-based dip has been a staple part of my diet for as long as I can remember. My mom always made a big bowl of it almost weekend night in the summer. She made it with freshly grown tomatoes and cilantro from our garden, and it always just so perfect.

My preferred vessel for guacamole is tortilla chips, but the possibilities are endless. Whether you’re digging in with veggies or topping your burgers and sandwiches with mountains of guac, there is no wrong way to do it.
