Guacamole Seasoning

Make the best guacamole with this simple homemade seasoning. Make a large batch and you’ll have it on hand whenever you get a guacamole craving.

What do you put in your guacamole?

I am often a minimalist when it comes to my guacamole. All I do is mash up two avocados, add some diced tomatoes, then a little salt and a clove or two of minced garlic. And commence inhalation.

When I saw this recipe for a guacamole seasoning, I was a bit hesitant at first because I love my simple guacamole. But now that I’ve tried it, I would love to make a big batch of this seasoning and store it for later use.

Might be a good gift too (since we are becoming ever closer to that gift-giving time of year). I actually have compiled a gift basket of local products and homemade seasoning blends before!

I also tried this guacamole with the Trader Joe’s black bean quinoa chips which were fabulous themselves. First time trying those too, and in combination with the guacamole I just might’ve eaten the entire bowl by myself O:-).

So take that as a warning that you may want to make more than you think you will need, because it disappears quickly! Great for just dipping, topping off a cheeseburger, or a burrito bowl.
