I love guacamole. I have been making the Barefoot Contessas recipe for years, but recently stumbled upon this version. I think I have a new favorite.
This recipe is genius in this way. By putting all the herbs and juice in a bowl to let sit, allows the juice to be absorbed so when it's combined with the avocados, they don't turn brown. Seriously...this never turned brown. Awesomesauce people!! I love the spicy zingy bite each scoop brings to the table.
This would be perfect this weekend as you enjoy cheering for your favorite football team.
