guacamole bar {and 3 fave recipes}

If you’ve been stopping by the handmade home for a while, you probably know we’re kind of obsessed with bars.

Every good party should have one… in some shape or form. ;}

burrito bowl bar

easy desserts: cheesecake bar

Summer chicken salad bar

Indoor s’mores {and free printables}

So the other day, we decided to whip up something really easy before a few friends stopped by so we could look all fancy without putting a lot of energy into much.

Although we could totally eat all of this by ourselves, impromptu party or no.

Because that’s how we roll.

It’s an easy little fix that only needs a few of your favorite ingredients. And the beauty of it is, each guest can fine tune it to suit their favorite flavors.

The perfect little party set up!

So without further ado: a guacamole bar {and 3 fave recipes}!

Here’s what we used: {you can include whatever you want – to taste}

• avocados {usually 1.5 per person, depending on the crowd} + kosher salt + cilantro + limes {for the juice}  + onion

This makes the perfect guac base just as is, and you can add on to this for most of your recipes.

And all the fixins: Here’s what we added – you can choose just what you want!

• red, green + yellow peppers • corn • green salsa • tomatoes • jalepeños • Kalamata olives
• goat cheese • shredded swiss and cheddar cheese • sour cream

{You could even add chicken or shrimp for something heavier in the protein variety, or complement it with your favorite meal}

Complement it with any vehicle of your choice: lime chips, pita chips, pretzels, flat bread… the possibilities are endless, but we could lap it up with a spoon.

Kidding not kidding.

Just take your avocado and mix + mash until you have just the right consistency and flavors! Such a fun little get together paired with your fave drinks for an easy meal!

Here’s three of our very favorite combos to get those ideas flowing:

Veggie Lover’s Guacamole: 

avocado + pinch of salt + lime juice + onions + cilantro + yellow peppers + tomatoes + just about anything else you please in the veggie variety- the chunkier the better

Greek Guacamole: 

avocado + onion + cilantro + goat cheese + pineapple + Kalamata olives

Spicy Kick Guacamole: 

Avocado + onion + cilantro + corn + green peppers + sour cream + shredded cheese + green salsa

The possibilities are kind of endless! – Yes to all of it, please!

As always, let us know if you try it!
