Every finger food needs something delicious to dip into before you shove it in your face. When I was in the midst of Whole30, guacamole was this thing ( see Ultimate Finger Food Pt 1). I mean, is there anything this strange fruit can’t pair with, especially in this grill out, picnic time of a year that we find ourselves smack dab in the middle of? Toast – check. Salad – check. Eggs – check. Burgers – check. Dip – check. Tacos – check. Sandwich spread – check. Dressing – check. I mean seriously. And also can I please just it them all day, every day?

The recipe king of the avocado world is most definitely guacamole. The beautiful thing about guac, is that you can’t really go wrong with it. And because of that, I never prepare it the same way twice. Sometimes I like it spicier, more crunchy, more salty, or with more of a garlic punch. You can cater it to your mood or to the preferences of anyone around you. So, in light of this fool-proof food, this post is more of a “choose your own adventure” story than a recipe. I list out all of the must have ingredients below, and you can combine them in any which way, smashing with a fork as you go. I’ve also listed some additional goodies that you may fancy tossing in there. As usual, the garlic in this recipe was grown right here in Denver, from Re:Vision’s Buying Club / Food Coop.
