Once I came to the same realization I never bought a tub again. My favorite tip is to use Sea Salt. It really kicks up the flavor. Yum!

Fresh, homemade quacamole is the best. Great – now you’re giving me a craving!

When I was in high school (living in San Diego), I’d come home from school, mix up a batch of fresh guacamole and eat it with a big bowl of Fritos. Pure bliss!

The only time I ever resort to store-bought guac is when I don’t have any ripe avocados. I try to keep at least 2-3 on hand every week, just so I can have some ripening for whenever I need them. I also use them in my salad, but they’re great mashed on wheat toast with a bit of mayo, salt & pepper. Mmmmm.

My guacamole recipe is fairly easy, too. I like to use lemon juice, although I know a lot of folks prefer lime.

I would’ve never thought to put cumin in guacamole! Now I need to go buy some avocados so I can try it out. Thanks for the idea!

Fresh is most definitely best! I like the idea of using cumin, I want to try that.

LOVE guacamole myself — and also agree that it’s surprisingly easy to make from scratch. Plus, then you can customize!!

I looooovvvvveeee guacamole. One of my college girlfriends is from the OC (not THAT part of the OC), and her parents had an avocado tree in their backyard. Yeah. How jealous was I?!

Love Guac. Living in California, we can eat it almost all year long. Fantastic. For Guac lovers, try some “Cowboy Caviar.” Its another wonderful dip (or meal!) made with avocados. I have a recipe for it on my blog. Its Super fantastic. My friend from Texas says its called “Texas Caviar” in her part of the world!

The only time I’m ok with pre made guac is when it’s from the Mexican grocery store by my house. They make it right there each day, so it’s fresh and preservative-free.

I feel like I just make up a recipe everytime I want guac, with whatever is around the house. Your recipe sounds like a good one, though, that would be consistent each time.

Oh yeah, I can’t do anything but fresh guac.

Interesting. I second the adding a bit of red onion and slivered jalepeno. I like mine a little more on the limey side too (juice of 1 lime).

It’s a sin to put garlic in guac though!

To each their own. I guess this is why we like to make our own, not just because it’s better, but it’s exactly like we want. I go for the two-consistency. I take half the onion and tomatoe and puree to a fine paste with the jalepeno in a blender. The rest of the stuff is coarse. Avacado in, mashed with a fork. You get a good balance of chunks with a lot of good ‘glue’ holding everything together.

Just avoid the garlic!

Try adding red onion, diced jalepeno, and garlic to the mix. It takes a few more steps, but the flavor is just incredible!

I love avocados. Sometimes, I buy some to make guacamole but I just end up slicing them, adding a little salt and pepper and eating them just like that. But whenever I do make guacamole, it always has tomatoes. This version sounds delicious!

I’m one of those people who doesn’t like cilantro, so making my own guac is a way to ensure that my guac is cilantro-free. And yes, it’s so easy, especially if your avocadoes are ripe and practically mash themselves.

Yes I have to say if fresh quac is snobby then right one. Nothing is easier and beats tub any day any way! The other thing I love about it is it can take on so many different ingredients and still be great. A little fresh Anaheim pepper is always good.

I hate when men are right… but, I do agree sometimes it’s worth the extra few minutes to make it yourself because it really will taste better.

I always have some Trader Joe’s guac in my freezer for those times when I just need something quick and easy… and theirs really does taste good!

I love homemade guacamole. Sometimes I do the deluxe version with all fresh ingredients (avocado, tomato, red onion, minced fresh hot pepper), but if ever your craving is too urgent, you can also just mix avocados with some mild (or hot) salsa and a bit of lime for the fast version !
