Guacamole. Guacamoleee. Guacaaamoleee. If you’ve seen that Subway commercial, hopefully these words are ringing a bell. And if not, I wish you could hear me saying “guacamole” with a strange accent. I hardly ever eat Subway (I’m more of a Jimmy John’s kind-of-girl), but I do love that commercial featuring their famous guacAmoooleee. Ok, I’ll stop now.

So back to the guacamole. I couldn’t let the summer end without sharing my special recipe for this spread. And believe it or not, this was my first time making guacamole. Can you believe it? Yeah, me either. I mean, I practically pile guacamole by the spoonful onto tacos, chips, toast (recipe coming next week!) and more. And I’ve even been known to eat guac with just my spoon. No shame. I’m addicted to it.

And the best part about this Zesty Guacamole (besides its delicious taste) is that it’s so easy to customize depending on your preferences. I chose to add in some fresh tomatoes, red onions, cilantro, and garlic. The combination of ingredients took this guacamole to a whole new level. But if you’re not a fan of onions, leave ’em out! Hate cilantro, skip it. Love tomatoes? Add in an extra serving! See how easy it is?

  30. Awww, gorgeous photos, Gayle! Guacamoooleeee really is one of my favourite foods ever, and I love that this recipe of yours has lime zest in it. The best thing about guacamole is that it's one of the few foods I can think of that I want to lick off a spoon but that is actually healthy! Bring it on!
