  1. Miss Annie, This is exactly how I make my guacamole and I just posted it today. Maybe I should have looked. I will be first to say that its the best guacamole I have ever had.
     
  2. This is the PERFECT, no frills classic guacamole recipe. Thank you so much for posting. This recipe will now be a staple in my house and guacamole will no longer be just an expensive treat when we go out.
     
  3. Miss Annie Yes...we love guacamole with lemon juice! I added a little hot sauce to it for a bite, and salsa. I also added a tsp of sour cream and a few turns of blk pepper. Absolutely great! Thank you for sharing this recipe.
     
  4. I'll have to add that this is the closest to how I make Guacamole:)I sometimes use lime juice, but this is sooo yummy. Guacamole as it was intended to be!Thanks, Miss Annie---PeggyLynn
     
  5. This is how I like guacamole! No sour cream, mayo, or bottled salsa....just fresh, light, uncomplicated ingredients. The mashed avocado gives it a wonderfully creamy texture. I used lime juice instead of lemon juice; just my preference. I'll make this often. Thanx for posting.
