Made this guac this evening to go along with another recipe here on Food.com - my DH does not like avocado's or cilantro so he reluctantly tried this quac, I was totally shocked when he said he really liked it and wanted more to eat, which I gladly gave him. The only change I made was used jalapeno's in place of the serrano's as I wasn't sure how spicy serrano's are. I changed the amount of the recipe from 3 to 2 cups, but used two whole jalapeno's. Great guac and one I will make again & again. Thank you Ms. B for posting.

This is the Williams Sonoma guacamole recipe. I have been making it for ages...when I couldn't find serrano peppers one time, I used about 1/3 of a small can of chopped jalapenos (NOT PICKLED OR JARRED) and we actually liked it even better than the original version so that's how I make it now. I use a little more lime juice than called for as well and it gives it a nice kick. This is a must try recipe...just a great guacamole that appeals to everyone.

My daughter and I love this recipe. All of the fresh ingredients and the chunkiness...yum! We can almost eat a whole batch in one day. If anyone knows how to keep the leftovers from browning, I'd like to know. I've tried covering tightly w/ plastic wrap and adding extra lime juice.**UPDATE** Keep the pit in w/ the guacamole to have fresh guac for days!

Yummy! I've never made guacamole before, but my hubby and I really enjoy it, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Wonderful, fresh flavor. Beautiful appearance. Comes together quickly and easily. Followed the directions exactly except I subsituted jalapenos b/c the grocery store didn't have any serranos. A keeper!

I'm giving this five stars because it looks very similar to the recipe I use which is absolutely fabulous. I use about four cloves of garlic, and instead of the onion I use a shallot about the size of two cloves of garlic. And make sure you pick out really good avocados...makes a world of difference. I like the tip about adding a little milk product. I'll have to give that a try.

This was amazing.... I've always just mashed up avocados and added a little garlic, salt and lemon juice and called it guacamole..... That was nothing.... This was amazing and I'll never go back to my old way of fixing it again.... I did leave out the serrano peppers (I didn't have time to stem them) and didn't have lime so I used lemon juice instead.... I plan on fixing this again this weekend and will use my peppers then.... Can't wait to see what the addition does to this already wonderful guac.....
