OUR RATING: LOVE IT
So I was told anyway. I am not a fan of Guac...or avacodos. I try them all the time, but every time it gives me the heeby jeebies. I am not a fan. However, I tried this recipe out on extended family that loves the stuff and they said it was very good. So there you have it! A winner!

  • 1/2 tsp. Garlic Salt
  • 1 Tbs. Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 tsp. Ascorbic Acid Powder (optional)
  • 1/4 c. Onion
  • 1 Medium Tomato (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
  • Cut avocados in half and remove pits. Scoop out the flesh and place in blender. 
  • Add Garlic Salt, Lemon Juice and Ascorbic Acid. Run on medium for 15-20 seconds or until ingredients are mixed. You may need to stop your blender and use a spatula to scrape around the sides to integrate ingredients. 
  • Turn machine on again. While it is running drop in onion and tomato.
