Before I share this super easy 5 ingredient guacamole recipe with you, you need to meet my brother.
Don’t let his face fool you… he loves me.
I wouldn’t say he’s a health food advocate (ok, not really at all. Although his wife does keep him in line.) but when our family got together, he announced he’d be making his “world famous guacamole” for us. Obviously, I was excited because 1. I love guacamole and 2. I don’t think I’ve ever seen my brother make anything but popcorn and macaroni and cheese.
He picked out his ingredients and started chopping things up in the kitchen.
It was only a few moments after he put the bowl on the table when we all went crazy for it. It’s some seriously delicious stuff, and it’s also simple enough to be added to the “5-ingredients or less” recipe list!

HI BROTHER!! My bro never smiles in my pics either. What a butt head. Anyway, LOVE the focus on avocados in a guac recipe!! Most take away from the avocados in my opinion by adding things like cream cheese or sour cream. YUCK

I’m horrible at buying avocados! They either aren’t ripe enough when I try to use them, or I forget them until I have to toss them out!

Try putting them in the fridge – it’ll slow the ripening process. I generally keep mine out on the countertop until they’re just about ready and then in the fridge to slow things down (and buy some time!) If you’re anything like me, you probably hate wasting food, so I’m always looking for ways to prolong their lifespan. Hope this helps! 🙂
IHeartVegetables
Thank you for the tip!! I’m going to try that 🙂
