Thanks Melissa!
So simple and easy! Just perfect for when you need it quickly!
That’s exactly why I love this recipe!
The addition of salsa definitely makes it speedy! We used some sour cream to keep it from getting brown. So good!
Great suggestion!
My recipe is very similar to yours, just the amounts are different. I love to whip it up and set it out for the children to dip vegi’s in.
I just shared mine at the request of my college daughter. We love quac at our house.
Love a speedy guac recipe!! Yum!! Pinning…thanks for sharing!
My hubby started doing this a decade ago. I call it his lazy guac. I love adding some chopped tomatoes and garlic or garlic salt. Yum!!
Another avocado that works good for me is when i mix avocado, chopped onion, chopped tomatoes, chopped cilantro, lime juice and salt. I use this for my tacos 🙂
