Recipe: Guacamole el Dave

Recipe: Dave's Delicious Guacamole

This guacamole recipe comes from Steve’s brother Dave, who has a guacamole tree in his garden (yes, really). With almost unlimited access to avocados, he’s perfected this chunky, flavor-packed version that’s always a hit at potlucks and get-togethers.

The recipe makes a big bowl and is easy to adjust to your own taste. Add more hot sauce if you like it spicy, or keep it mild, it’s up to you. There’s plenty of good stuff in here: two kinds of onion, garlic, tomato, cilantro, and a bit of Cajun seasoning for a little extra something.

Serving suggestions:

With tortilla chips as a classic snack.

As a topping for tacos, quesadillas, or grilled chicken.

Spread on toast with a poached egg for breakfast.

On top of a salad bowl or grain bowl for creaminess.

Added to burgers or wraps for extra flavor.

My newsletter is where I share a more personal side of my life, the trips I’m planning, the recipes I’m cooking, and the everyday moments that don’t always make it to the blog.

Mitzie Mee - Sanne

Welcome to my recipe blog. This is where all the dishes I cook on repeat end up, from quick weeknight meals to the food I make when I want something a little special. So many of the recipes on this page come from people I’ve met along the way. Friends who invited me into their kitchens, showed me how they cook, and let me taste dishes that never really leave you. Some of these recipes are my own, others are inspired by meals I’ve learned from friends I’ve met all over the world. Together they’ve become a little collection of the food I love most. I hope you find something here that makes you want to try a new flavor or revisit an old favorite.
