Do you ever need to feed a whole army of people some fresh and tasty guacamole?

…..Or is that just me?

I bet if I give you long enough, you could think of at least two places you could use this recipe in the next month.  There are so many celebrations coming up and of course, Summer in California!  That’s enough to celebrate every weekend!

It’s also difficult to make a big ol’ bowl of guacamole look sexy, so I added this Avocado Nest (see the quick video below to get the deeds on how to do it!) and a few colorful chips to add some visual interest.  

What a huge difference it makes for presentation on this dish!

This guacamole is not shy either.  Loaded with tomatoes, red onion and cilantro it’s bursting with flavor.  Zesty lemon and a “secret ingredient” bring some tang to the contents and balance the taste to perfection.  

We use 12 California avocados, 8 campari tomatoes, 1/2 red onion, 2 lemons and a full bunch of cilantro tops.  Shhhhh, the secret ingredient isn’t revealed here yet…

Halve the California avocados and add to a large bowl

Mash with the back of a large fork

Add the diced veggies and add the juice of the lemons along with a bit of salt and pepper

Secret ingredient reveal is 2 teaspoons of garlic salt!  Your guac will never be the same.   

Trust me, it makes all the difference!  

So, have you thought of the first event you are taking this to?  

I’d be willing to bet your Fourth of July celebration would be a great start!
