This recipe is from my book, The 21-Day Sugar Detox. Watch me make this recipe in the video at the end of this post!
Guacamole is always a fan-favorite whether it's to enjoy while watching The Big Game, topping lettuce-wraps, or just for snacking or topping off a meal pretty much anytime. When the craving for guacamole hits, it's easy to think that grabbing a premade variety at the grocery store is your best, bet, but this 4-ingredient recipe will quickly change your mind! For a fraction of the price, and just a quick time investment, you can whip up a super-fresh batch of the green dip that'll easily become your new go-to-guac!
Of course, there are lots of options of more ingredients you can add to this guacamole to kick it up from here, but this is a basic recipe that'll keep you from feeling overwhelmed when buying ingredients. Once you buy the avocados, most of these ingredients are those you may already have on-hand (lemons/limes – use lemon juice in this recipe if you have everything else on-hand and are missing limes, cilantro, and shallots are always around in my kitchen!).
Enjoy!

Thanks, essential recipe 🙂

If you can handle nightshades, this simple guac recipe is made even better with a pinch each of cumin, chipotle pepper powder and coriander (I know, it makes it a 7 ingredient guac but I love my spices!). Also, I made this with red onions, as I didn’t have shallots…yummy! Just ate it with lettuce and beef…but I could have eaten it with a spoon and been just as happy.
