Once you try this easy and delicious guacamole recipe, you won’t want to eat store-bought again! 
We all have those recipes that are our go-to’s…the recipes that everyone requests at a gathering. This is that recipe for my dear friend, Debi. She recently came over and shared her recipe for authentic guacamole with me, so I can share it with you!
This is truly the most delicious guacamole I have ever tasted. Now that I have learned how to make it, this recipe has become requested almost daily in my home! Once you try this easy to prepare recipe, you will never go back to store-bought again. 
Ingredients
You will need about 5 ripe avocados, red onion, 1 lime, 2 plum tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, Kosher salt, along with fresh cilantro and parsley.

Directions
Dice about a half of a red onion. To the onion, add about 1/4 -1/2 teaspoon salt and juice of one squeezed lime. A little tip here is to roll the lime before slicing it in half and squeezing it. This will help you get the most juice out of it.
Recently, when watching Rachel Ray with my mom, I learned that the lime helps to “pickle” the onion and bring out its flavor.
Next, slice your avocado in half and remove the pit. Using a spoon, slice the avocado into small chunks and then scoop them into your bowl.
Once you have all of the avocado in your bowl, get ready to add some jalapeno peppers and tomatoes.
Take a tablespoon or two of the sliced jalapeno and dice them into small pieces. Add the jalapeno peppers to the mixture.
Start out by seeding your tomatoes. This will prevent your guacamole from being too wet or watery. Then, dice the tomatoes into small pieces. Save a few to sprinkle on top of your guacamole.
Finally, chop cilantro, parsley, and salt to taste. I added about 1 1/2 tablespoons of cilantro, a little less than a tablespoon of parsley, and a dash of salt.
Mix it well, mashing the avocados, top with tomatoes, and enjoy! This guacamole goes perfectly with my recipe for The Most Amazing Margaritas.
