Mom's Guacamole

One of the posts I really meant to get to last week was the recipe for guacamole from Darrell's mom. Not only does it pair really well with the homemade tortilla chips I whipped up, but it is equally delicious and easy to throw together. Now, I know everyone prefers their guacamole a different way--some like it chunky, some like it liquid smooth, some like salsa included, etc--but I think this recipe can be pretty easily modified to fit whatever your preferences are. Darrell and I don't mind a little chunkiness, and we're not fans of the inclusion of salsa and/or tomatoes, so this recipe is perfect for us. And if it isn't perfect for you, tweak it until it is!

If I would have been smart I would have taken the picture--and posted the blog--last week when there was actually quite a bit of guac left and it was a brighter green, but we all know how well that went. Whoops.

Mom's Guacamole

1 avocado, mashed
1 tsp mayonnaise
2 tsp lemon juice
dash of lemon pepper
dash of salt
dash of garlic powder
dash of celery salt
pinch of curry powder

Mix all ingredients together until well combined. Add more spices to taste.

Super ridiculously easy. And if you know this will go fast in your house--or if you are making it for a party--it's really simple to double (or triple!) the recipe.
