Looks delicious! Parties do not have to traditional in order to be simple. You can serve various kinds of dishes to cater to the various preferences of food and taste of your guests.

I tried your receipe today but I added mango and it turned out delicious. I have made guacamole before but I never diced the avocados. Your technique of dicing them made the guacamole look really good. I love this recipe!

Dear Pati,
Thank you for sharing… I am sure your Guacamole was delicious. Just to let you know they are many variations depending on the demographics. On many occasions, you will find that some of the guacamole has fresh cheese, crema (sour cream) or queso cotija. It does vary and changes the overall taste of the guacamole…
By the way, my mom always uses garlic and fresh cheese, and Jalapeño peppers… not to be prejudiced, but my mom’s guacamole is the best!!!
P.S. The lemon juice is to prevent the avocados from turning brown… by using the lemon juice it will always be nice and green… always remember not to use too much lemon juice as sometimes you will overpower the flavor.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Frank, I personally always, always, leave out garlic when making guacamole, and as far as I have researched and tried, it is not a traditional ingredient in guacamole. However, there are some new spins on the dish. I recently tasted one with roasted/charred garlic and corn from a caterer, and it was innovative and tasty. So it is really up to you (!) Try it with and without and see what you like best, or maybe it depends on the mood you may be at…

Sounds very good. Do you generally leave out garlic when you make guacamole? Is garlic not a traditional ingredient in guacamole? The reason I ask is because I’ve always included garlic and never thought twice until I saw this recipe.
Thanks,
-Frank

Hehe. I had a similar experience yesterday at the supermarket. Madness. Yet, because I know my taste is not that of most people’s, I knew I’d find what I needed. Lo and behold, there they were: Poblanos, avocados, papayas. Will try out this guacamole this weekend! Thanks for posting it.
