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.

You’ll be amazed at the ease of this recipe and how fresh it tastes. After all, avocados are little veggies of magical-ness. That should be a word, right?

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?
 
Within minutes, this Zesty Guacamole is ready to be devoured. So grab those chips, prepare the tacos, and get ready to have the best guacamole ever!

    I'm not much of a subway fan myself (quiznos girl here) but I do remember those commercials and thinking...."bet that would be good on a sandwich" never tried it though.. I'm loving this recipe, I'll have to give it a try very soon, and the more cilantro the better! Thanks for sharing!

    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!
