With both Cinco de Mayo and Mother’s Day approaching, I think it’s a perfect time to share one of my favorite recipes with you!
Why is it called Mom’s Guacamole? Well, the answer to that is as simple as the recipe itself. My mom taught me how to make this exact guacamole years (and years) ago, and because of the great big avocado tree I have in my front yard, I make it constantly!
Since the recipe and ingredients are so simple and easy, I just know you’re going to love it too!
Here’s what you need:
(Note: get this stuff together first!! Making guacamole can get a little messy, so it’s best to have everything you need right at your fingertips.)
How much of each ingredient do I need, you ask? Well, in the wise words of my mom, “However much you like!” Oooohh let me tell you how much that frustrated me in the past. As a borderline perfectionist, that’s not a sufficient answer! But, she’s completely right. Using these ingredients, season it to taste just as you like. Start with a little and add more after a taste test. I find that a dash of the dry ingredients will do. I usually add a tablespoon of salsa and I find it to be just the right amount of spicy “kick”. OH- and here’s an awesome tip! The olive oil not only makes the guacamole a little creamier, it also helps prevent the leftover guacamole from turning brown!
There you have it! Mom’s Guacamole is an easy recipe with simple ingredients that you most likely already have in your kitchen. Are you eager to make the guacamole but your grocery store only has unripened avocados for sale? Well, take a brown paper bag and let the avocados sit in there for a few days. The darkness helps them ripen faster!
Thank you so much for having me again here at A Little Tipsy! I’d love for you to swing by my blog Smart School House to see what other crafts and treats I’ve been up to lately, like this picture perfect pink treat called Frosted Ice Cream:
Thanks Kelly! I love the tip about the olive oil! DYK if you leave the big avocado seed in the guacamole until ready to serve it keeps it green?! Can’t wait to try this recipe!

I can’t even IMAGINE having your own avocado tree right out the front door. NICE!
