Serves:: 8

ingredients

4 ripe avocados, fork smashed
2 -3 garlic cloves, roasted and mashed
¹⁄₂ sweet onions or 1/2 red onion, diced
¹⁄₂ lemon, juice of (or more to taste)
¹⁄₄ cup fresh parsley or 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1 serrano peppers (optional) or 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
salt (to taste)
1 ripe tomatoes, seeded and chopped (medium size)

directions

In a bowl fork smash the avocado with the roasted garlic until you have reached the desired consistency. Add in the onion, lemon juice, parsley or cilantro, hot pepper (if using), tomato and salt. Mix well and taste. Cover tightly and refrigerate, you may need to stir before eating as the avocados can oxidize on the air exposed areas (turns grey in color).
Note: **Always add the tomato last as if you decide to mash the mixture some more you won't mash the tomatoes into pulp and juice.
Great served along side recipe#286463 !

This was excellent I served this with your Recipe#286463 and Mandy's Recipe#403579. For an absolute hit at a gathering I had tonight every single dip got rave reviews. I added 2 red chilies as that is what I had on hand. This was delicous with just the right amount of spice. I have saved all recipes made, to make again as not only did I love them but with all the fab reviews I got they have got to go on a regular roster, especially when having to take something to gatherings what perfect dips. Huge thumbs up by all :)

Great guacamole! I used a clove of raw garlic as well as the roasted cloves, because we love garlic. I used the serrano chili and cilantro. I like the chunky texture of fork-smashing. Made excellent appetizer with chips.

Very nice! I felt the roast garlic (I used recipe #303247) made it a bit too mild/sweet, so I added extra minced raw garlic and it was perfect. I used sweet onion and jalapeno; used parsley option as well (I already burned up the cilantro in the herb garden). Serving this evening atop some taco soup! Thanks for posting. Made for AUS/NZ recipe swap July 2009.

Yum! We are Guacamole fans and this recipe didn't let us down, the roast garlic gave it great flavour, I like how the sharpness of a raw garlic wasn't there, roasting the garlic made it sweet. I used a regular green pepper and the heat was perfect for all of the family. Thank you CHILI SPICE

I AM A MARRIED MOTHER OF 3. COOKING IS A PASSION OF MINE. FINE FOOD MARKETS AND GROCERY STORES ARE MY "HANG OUTS". I LOVE THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO END IN LEARNING. I ENJOY THE WHOLE PROCESS OF COOKING, FROM FINDING A NEW RECIPE, GROCERY SHOPPING, EXPERIMENTING -- RIGHT TO THE DINNER TABLE. MY FAMILY APPRECIATES THE EFFORT I PUT INTO MEALS WHICH IS A WONDERFUL REWARD. ~NO PICKY EATERS HERE~ MY CHILDREN'S MINDS ARE OPEN TO ALL TYPES OF FOOD (WHEN IN MEXICO MY YOUNGEST SON ORDERED QUAIL AT A RESTAURANT AND LOVED IT). <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Grevillia1.jpg">recipe swap 2008 <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/babygrey-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Cooking-Kangaroo-2.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Hebe-1.jpg"> Recipe Swap September 2008 <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/GoldenWattle-1-1.jpg"> Recipe Swap October 2008 <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/boronia-1-1.jpg"> Recipe Swap November 2008 <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/2cockatoos-1.jpg"> Recipe Swap December '08 <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pic53mWVE-1.jpg"> Recipe Swap January '09 <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pichy1L7z-1.jpg"> Recipe Swap February '09 <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pic5BTaSK-1.jpg"> Recipe Swap March '09 <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pickxwB1q-1.jpg"> Recipe Swap April '09 <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picx2XGjA-1.jpg"> Recipe Swap May '09 <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picwJT0Wr-1.jpg"> Recipe Swap June '09 AND July '09 <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picbzMWsf-1.jpg"> Recipe Swap August '09 href="http://www.amazingcounter.com"> <img border="0" src="http://cb.amazingcounters.com/counter.php?i=2319896&c=6960001" alt="Web Page Counter"></a> <img style="visibility:hidden;width:0px;height:0px;" border=0 width=0 height=0 src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.0NXC/bT*xJmx*PTEyMzc5MTY4MjkyNTkmcHQ9MTIzNzkxNzAxNTY3NyZwPTMyMzAwMiZkPW1hcGxvY28mZz*xJnQ9Jm89ZTM*OTQ2YjBkZDAwNDY*ZTg2YzM5MTIzY2E4ZjI5MjY=.gif" /><a href="http://www.maploco.com/view.php?id=3288995"><img border=0 src="http://www.maploco.com/vmap/3288995.png" alt="Visitor Map"></a><a href="http://www.maploco.com/">Create your own visitor map!</a>
