All I did was add a tomato (it was about to go bad and I needed to use it) and lime juice instead of lemon. One word - YUM. Delicious and simple are always nice words to associate with a recipe and this one is a keeper!

I was looking for a quick guacamole recipe that didn't have too many ingredients. This worked great. I only had 2 avocados and the rest of the ingredients on hand. I was shock how good it tasted. I played with the lemon juice and salt and pepper. I added a bit of garlic salt because I normally add garlic to guacamole. Play with the ingredients and have fun. this was very good.

I'm the one who contributed this recipe. After reading all the reviews I should add what one of the reviewers said about the quality of the avocados. The should be HAAS. When you buy them at the store the skin shouldn't be too bumpy and soft to touch. Not too soft. Use them as soon as possible as avocados don't have a long shelf life at least the ones that are not hard as a rock. Adding lime instead of lemon for flavor. It's probably a good call. But otherwise is that SIMPLE! Keep it that way for best results and if you don't like CILANTRO this is definitely not your recipe. What makes this recipe is the cilantro and green onions do not replace or exchange. This recipe is supposed to be simple and without garlic. Those who add cumin, garlic or tomatoes need a different recipe. So don't go by the reviews too much is my experience. Funny you learn that when you submit your own recipe.

I only had 1 ripe avocado so I scaled this down. Made as directed but added some hot sauce. Next time I'm going to add diced tomatoes. Almost too easy to make this great recipe.

This is very simple and tasty. It was missing a little something so I added a little lime juice for extra flavor.

It looks super and I am sure to try it soon but I knocked off one star for the incomplete listing of green onion. I believe you meant 3/4 cup. Please correct to clear any future confusion.

I haven't made this recipe, but want to comment. The most important thing in good guac is the avacados. You really can't stress that enough. I use Haas. They have to be ripe. I usually make my guac with some salsa and some lemon juice. I'm not a big cilantro fan so I leave that out. Sometimes I add green onion if I have it and fresh tomatoes if they are in my garden. :)

I love recipes like this. So simple, so few ingredients, yet so delicious and fresh. The lime juice and cilantro are great additions.

Thanks for a wonderfully simple and tasty dip recipe! I used lime juice and didn't use any cilantro at all. I also added a clove of garlic and some paprika. We didn't have any leftovers!
