Only 7 Ingredients!!!
Get ready to wow your friends with the most delicious guacamole they've ever tasted with this easy-to-follow recipe. With only seven simple ingredients, you'll be able to create a mouthwatering dip that will leave your guests begging for more. The key to making perfect guacamole is to start with ripe avocados, which can be identified by their slightly soft texture when you give them a gentle squeeze. It's important to avoid using avocados that are overripe as they will be brown inside and won't taste good.
Similarly, if the avocado is too hard and doesn't give when squeezed, it's not yet ripe and can't be used. To speed up the ripening process of your avocados, place them in a paper bag with an apple and leave it for a day or so. Remember not to store your avocados in the refrigerator, as this can affect their flavor and texture. When you're ready to make your guacamole, slice open your perfectly ripe avocados and follow the easy steps in this recipe. Your friends will be wondering how you made such a delicious dip and asking for your secret recipe in no time. So please make sure to tell your friends to come to www.bellylaughliving.com for the recipe!
Guacamole as a side dish or just with chips as a treat
We enjoy having guacamole with Tortilla chips, Shrimp Tacos, Fajitas, and other Mexican dishes. However, since we started our lifestyle change, we realized that we had to reduce our intake of high-fat foods and carbs. We missed tortilla chips a lot, so we tried baking corn tortillas and discovered that we prefer them to store-bought chips. They are more affordable, and we can eat more of them. Besides, they are always fresh and have a fantastic flavor.
When making the guacamole, it pays to keep the ingredients fresh; for example, don't use "plastic limes." Put your Avocados in a bowl and cut them into chunks with a fork and table knife. You want to leave texture and have a chunky dip, not completely smooth. Please, never put mayonnaise in your Guacamole. Mayo is totally not necessary, only adds extra calories, and really won't help you win the “Guac-off"!!!!

Tips for great Guacamole
Guacamole is a delicious and popular dip that can be served with a variety of dishes. To make a fantastic guacamole, it's essential to use ripe avocados that are soft and easy to mash. Adding fresh lime juice not only enhances the flavor of the guacamole but also helps prevent the avocados from turning brown. Instead of using large tomatoes, using small cherry tomatoes is a great option as they are sweet and contain less juice.
