No gathering is complete without guacamole, it’s a party favourite. It’s fresh, spicy (if you like it that way) and such a crowd pleaser. This is a guaranteed recipe that you will keep going back to.

And the eternal guacamole question, tomatoes or no tomatoes? In this recipe it’s a no, but you can certainly add them, I often do. Salt is a key ingredient, don’t skip it! This is very adjustable, more chilli, less chilli, whatever suits you.

Limes really add a distinct flavour and are definitely recommended, but you can substitute with lemon when they are out of season or prohibitively expensive. With avocado’s, I prefer Hass (California) but any will work.

Best Guacamole

No gathering in complete without guacamole, it's a staple of any party, and this is hands down the best one you will try.
