Easy Guacamole Recipe: Three Ingredients

Guacamole may be my favorite food ever, and this super simple recipe means it’s an easy treat for me to make for a gathering or just for me. I’m fortunate that no one else in my house loves it, which means more for me! Making guacamole is super simple with this recipe, just three ingredients, and it takes less than 5 minutes.

    I love avocados and guacamole. I’ve never used garlic salt when making guac but I might have to give it a try.

    I think avocados should have their own food group. I would eat them every day if they weren’t so expensive!

      They are SO good for you! I buy the packs at our local grocery store or Trader Joe’s. $4 for 4 avocados isn’t too bad especially when you eat them as much as I do!
