When I initially prepared this 3 Ingredient Guacamole Recipe, this was on such a hot, lazy day that you feel like having something cool but not necessarily wanting to cook. I had a bunch of ripe avocados on the counter, a lime loose in the kitchen, and a grain or two of salt, that’s all. No garlic, no onion, no cilantro, just the simple, rich flavor of avocado taking form. The minute I mashed up the whole lot, the aroma wafted up; that rich, earthy smell of avocado, combining with the zingy lime, acted to make the entire kitchen smell like summer had entered.
First lick? Absolute gold. Creamy and smooth, with that kicky, zippy lime zip that moves across your tongue. The salt pulls everything together, mixing up the tastes so beautifully that you almost remember that there are just three ingredients. It’s vibrant, new, and rewarding, the perfect dip that gets a second to close your eyes to bask in how something so bare can be so delicious. And with a crispy tortilla chip or toasted pita, that texture contrast is unstoppable.
Gradually, I began messing with it at times, taking it on top with diced tomatoes or serving alongside the Easy Sloppy Joe Recipe with 3 Ingredients for a rich contrast to the beef that was saucy. Other times, I took it on Buttery Dinner Rolls instead of butter, and gee whiz, that combination changed the face of snack time permanently. This guac is simple, yet it packs maximum flavor and comfort. You’ll understand that three ingredients are as many as you’ll ever require for ultimate guac bliss the moment you experience that zip of lime against that rich avocado.

Creamy, zesty, and irresistibly fresh; this guacamole is pure sunshine in a bowl.
Just three ingredients; ripe avocados, lime, and a pinch of salt.
It’s smooth, tangy, and packed with that melt-in-your-mouth goodness.
Perfect with tortilla chips, on toast, or next to your favorite meals.
Simple, vibrant, and full of flavor; this guac makes every bite feel like summer.
