The Only Guacamole Recipe You Will Ever Need I have a controversial opinion: most guacamole recipes are way too complicated. People add yogurt, peas, pomegranate seeds, mango, all sorts of things that have no business being in guacamole. Great guacamole does not need fancy additions. It needs perfectly ripe avocados, fresh lime, and a few simple ingredients that let the avocado be the star. This is the recipe I make for every single gathering, and it disappears within minutes. Every. Single.
