Best Homemade Guacamole
Growing up in Malaysia, I didn't experience guacamole until after I moved to the United States. When I did finally try it, I fell in love. Not only is it yummy, but it's super healthy and easy to make at home.
My favorite recipe includes fresh avocado, onion, cilantro, garlic, lemon, and lime. To make it extra special, I like to add serrano and habanero peppers to bring out the spicy flavors.
Guacamole is often served as a dip with tortilla chips. However, there are a million other ways to enjoy it, as well. For instance, it's perfect on toast, burgers, tacos, and nachos. Personally, I love it on toast. Yummy!
I think guacamole is a perfect treat to share while hanging out with family or friends. Why not impress them with this tasty and healthy dip? You'll be amazed by how easy and delicious it is.
Let's see the full ingredients.
