Easy Homemade Guacamole

Like my pistachio pudding salad, this homemade guacamole isn’t a traditional St. Patrick’s Day recipe but like the aforementioned marshmallow salad, it IS green and therefore you can totally serve it come March 17th. And you totally should because it’s some of the best guacamole I’ve ever eaten.

Thank you, Alton Brown.

If our kids had their choice, all you’d find in our pantry would be chips and all you’d find in the fridge would be salsa, ranch (for the ever popular salsa ranch) and guacamole. Oh, and maybe some shredded cheese for what we like to call “ghetto nachos” (shredded cheese on chips melted in the microwave).

To adjust the heat, look to your diced jalapeno. If you’re not a fan of guac with kick, leave it out all together.
