Cinco De Mayo Guacamole
"It's Cinco de Mayo, and I'm CRAVING guacamole... I totally threw this together on a whim, and I think it was one of the BEST I've ever made. Please note that I used my Penzey's Smokey Flavored Salt for the salt listed in the recipe. Plain old salt is ok too!"

Very yummy! I am right there with Mindelicious and love that you used scallions to give it a milder flavor (vs. the typical raw red onion). My avocado was overly ripe but it worked just fine for this recipe. I did end up throwing in some cilantro, but only because I have some to use up in the fridge. I am eating the guac now with a cheese quesadilla and it is a perfect marriage. . .and I am eating it for BREAKFAST!!! Yum! -
Loved this! I really liked that you used scallions instead of onions (not a huge onion fan) and that you left it chunky! YUMMY!! I skimped on the salt & jalapeno cause I'm a wuss. I had this for dinner on a bed of spinach - oh yeah! Thanks for this keeper!! Recipenap'd for Veggie Swap 23!! -
Made this using 2 avocados instead of 3 adding cilantro. I didn`t have lime so used lemon which I wish I had. Lime I do favor! My avocados weren`t the freshest but this was yummy! THANKS!
