THE BEST GUACAMOLE
Simple ingredients in perfect proportion make a this dip a crowd-pleasing favorite for any event. We decided not to use tomato in ours -- it makes the guac watery -- and included both onion and garlic for extra zip. A healthy dose of fresh lime juice balances and brightens the flavors.

Steps:
- Put the diced onion into a small strainer and rinse under cold running water. Transfer to a small bowl and cover with 1 cup cold water. Stir in the vinegar and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Pour the lime juice over the avocado. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocado until creamy with some chunks remaining. Drain the onions well and add to the bowl, along with the jalapeno, garlic, salt and cilantro. Stir to combine.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips. Or press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface of the guacamole to prevent discoloration and refrigerate until ready to serve.
PAULA DEEN/GEORGE IV'S FAVORITE GUACAMOLE
There's no such thing as too many guacamole recipes...I love to try new ones. I like this recipe because the jalapenos bite back, and the grated lime zest and lime juice give it great flavor. I used red onion instead of yellow, and I added salsa instead of tomato because that's what I had. I can't say I finely chopped anything besides the mashed avocados, but I like the chunks and I'm impatient and want to eat it--not chop it. I also added a little pepper. Recipe from Paula Deen The Deen Family Cookbook. DELICIOUS! Serving size is estimated.

OUR FAVORITE MOST AMAZING GUACAMOLE
My husband and I tried a ridiculous amount of guacamole over our decades together, but no recipe ever hit home for us. After much experimenting, I finally created a recipe we can't get enough of. It even beats every restaurant we've ever been to. The two of us can eat this whole bowl in one sitting, and enjoy every bite. I'm so happy to share it with you. Now Taco Tuesday can be any night of the week! Serve it with tortilla chips, or use it to top tacos, quesadillas, fajitas, burritos, and more.

- NOTE: If not eating right away, place seeds in dip to help guacamole from turning brown.
- Also, place a piece of plastic wrap across the top of the guacamole, mashing it in to touch the top layer of guacamole.
- When you peel the plastic wrap off, it will take away anything that has turned a little brown.

Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: The best guacamole starts with ripe avocados. Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color and slightly soft to the touch.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to cut the avocados and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Remove the pit carefully: To remove the pit, cut the avocado in half lengthwise and twist the halves in opposite directions. The pit should come out easily.
- Scoop out the avocado flesh: Use a spoon to scoop out the avocado flesh from the skin. Be careful not to scoop out any of the brown flesh near the pit.
- Mash the avocado flesh: Mash the avocado flesh with a fork or potato masher until it reaches your desired consistency. If you like chunky guacamole, mash it less. If you prefer smooth guacamole, mash it more.
- Add your favorite ingredients: Once the avocado flesh is mashed, you can add your favorite ingredients to make your guacamole unique. Some popular additions include lime juice, cilantro, onion, tomatoes, jalapeños, and salt.
- Serve immediately: Guacamole is best served immediately after it is made. However, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
Guacamole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a dip, spread, or topping. It is a great way to use up ripe avocados and is a perfect party food. With its creamy texture and fresh flavor, guacamole is sure to be a hit with everyone!
