Easy Guacamole Recipe

This quick and easy Guacamole Recipe is the perfect appetizer, or addition to your favorite dish. I love a light fresh snack and homemade guacamole ticks all the boxes. I love to make it all year round, but something about a quick fresh appetizer just reminds me of summer. Keep reading below to find out my Easy Homemade Guacamole Recipe.

I have been on a mission to make perfect easy appetizers. I love guacamole and salsa. You know, the kind you get at your favorite restaurant, but BETTER. With the heat of Summer, and my cravings for light fresh snacks, I figured now is the perfect time.

How do you make Guacamole?

The best part of this recipe is I make it all in my food processer. I just pop all the ingredients in and give it a few pulses. Easy as that. Sometimes, when I’m lazy, I just pop the lid on, and put the whole food processer full of guac right in the fridge. But that’s our little secret.

But what if you don’t have a food processor? I knew you may ask…just use what you have. Do not go out and buy anything. You can use a blender, a knife, your hands. The options are endless, so let’s get started making the best homemade guacamole.

Homemade Guacamole Recipe Ingredients

Avocados– (of course) a perfectly ripe avocado is a must for the perfect guac.
Lime Juice – I use lime juice for that extra kick, and to add some acid, to keep your avocado nice and green.
Onion– some finely chopped fresh onion pairs perfectly with avocados.
Peppers– I prefer to use crushed red pepper for my heat, and love that it adds little flecks of red color, but you could also use some fresh jalapeno.
Seasonings – I prefer a simple dip, and prefer to salt and a little garlic powder. You could also add onion powder, cumin, or even some Mrs. Wages Salsa Mix to spice it up a bit.
