This is a classic and a ‘must’ for every party. Very easy to make and absolutely delicious. The classical recipe for guacamole requires mashed avocado for a creamy guacamole. Sometimes, depending on how ripen are my avocados, I prefer just to dice the avocados and have a Guacamole salad instead.
However, the classic guacamole is creamy so the avocados will need to be well ripen and mashed for this easy recipe. I personally don’t like to use coriander or cilantro leaves and I prefer to use parsley instead. But that’s just my personal preference. With the ingredients listed below, you get 4 large portions or 8 smaller ones. I know this is a success in our house and we split it in 4 servings every time.
