Now, I will pass his teachings to me onto you. I've changed up the recipe a bit to suit my lifestyle, but it's still really good!
Ed's Guacamole
Ingredients:
6 avocados (to learn about how to easily remove an avocado from its peel, go HERE)
The juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon chili-lime powder (optional)
1 regular-sized can Rotel tomatoes and green chili (optional)
1 regular-sized can of corn (optional)
Directions:
Step 1. Remove the avocados from their peels and place them in a large mixing bowl...
Add salt and spices and mash with a bean masher...
Step 2. Drain the liquid from the tomatoes and corn...
...and gently mix into the avocado mixture.
And you're done. Now spoon it from the mixing bowl to a pretty bowl and enjoy!

Yum! One for my favorite things
Guacamole is my favorite food on the whole planet. I eat it every day! Seriously! You can put guac on anything, or just eat it plain, it's delish! It should be it's own food group. :) I make mine up with just garlic salt usually but if I've got it on hand I'll do lime and cilantro and pico if I've got that.
Very few things make me happy these days... I was glad to see this post. This secret 5th food group is too often ignored.
I agree, Emily, it should be its own food group! And it's so good for vegetarians because it has all the right fats!
I'm a guacamole lover too, I make mine with fresh grated onion ( a bit ) smashed garlic, lemon juice and a little mayo.
And yes it has ALL the right FAT ;)
Don't forget to add the pits back into the finished product - it helps it keep it's beautiful green color longer!
Hi Jen :-)
You know me, always curious .... what was it that your father did to his that you changed?
Personally, we don't care for guacamole. But we have learned that serving it on a Fajita bar makes many people delighted!
{"Melis" That is a very useful tip you shared!!!!}
Jen, I'm sorry but I must also disagree with something else from this posting and it's comments thus far ... o;-) ... CHOCOLATE is the other basic food group, and hopefully the next time the 'Health Dept.' redoes their food pyramid, they will get it right! o;-p
Hi Cheryl! My father would regularly put raw onions, tomatoes and salsa in his guacamole. Since John doesn't like raw onion, I have done away with it. He also never put corn in his, but I like it because it gives it more texture.
Nothing better than a good aguacate. Looking forward to trying your guacamole recipe.
