The author recounts a disappointing experience with a restaurant's guacamole, which was bland and overpriced. This reinforces the value of homemade guacamole, where one can adjust flavors to personal preference. The article shares a favorite recipe which includes lime juice and zest for tanginess, as well as red onion and jalapeño for added crunch and flavor. The author encourages others to make guacamole at home, highlighting its simplicity and the satisfaction of achieving a better dish than what restaurants often provide.
In reality, it...wasn't great, filled with watery tomatoes and not nearly enough lime or salt. I mean, $16?!
It uses lime juice AND zest. You can give guacamole plenty of tang using lime juice alone, but the zest adds another layer of freshness and brightness.
Guacamole should definitely be creamy, but some crunch makes it more interesting and satisfying to eat. I add red onion and jalapeño to mine, which also supply savory flavor and heat.
Save yourself a few bucks and make your own at home! Love & Lemons readers have vouched for it. Alf called it 'Perfection!' and Michael wrote, 'It really is the best guacamole recipe!'
