Chunky Guacamole Recipe

Guacamole is a Tex-Mex staple, and so easy to make a quick batch at home. Use 6 simple ingredients and about 10 minutes for this chip dip.

What’s the best part of living in The South? Besides the warm weather (I hate the cold), it’s definitely the southern comfort food. For example, who doesn’t love some good country fried steak or biscuits and gravy? Not to mention the delicious Tex-Mex foods like chunky guacamole and enchiladas!

Since having children, I’ve also learned that it’s not always about the food that’s being made, but the memories we make in the kitchen together. Nothing taught me this more than seeing how much Tyler loves to help me in the kitchen.

I was recently given the opportunity to work with Southern Kitchen as one of their Brand Ambassadors. It’s a perfect fit since the company is all about Southern-inspired foods, drinks, and get-togethers.

You can get quality products ranging from serving dishes to cast-iron skillets to platters and pitchers to pint glasses and everything in between. I started small to try out a few things and ordered their Bean & Bailey White Salt Bowl as well as the Cillio Piave 4 Piece Cheese Knife Set.

The Bean and Bailey bowls are awesome because they are multifunctional. They can be used for salt and pepper bowl, but can also be used for an individual salsa bowl or dipping sauce bowl. You could also use it outside the kitchen to hold jewelry, coins, or anything small. I like keeping one on my kitchen counter to put my rings in when I am working with raw meat.

I’ve never had a cheese knife set, so thought it would be something fun and unique to add to my kitchen lineup. I’ve been to parties where the host has a gorgeous cheese platter out with the cute little knives that are perfect for the different types of cheese. They come in a cute wooden box for easy storage, and it would also make a great gift.

And what could be better than a discount on these wonderful products? If you use the code WELCOME10 on your first order, you get $10 off a purchase over $50.

As I mentioned, the Salt Bowl is the perfect size for a single serving of a dip. So I used it for some delicious guacamole. My boys love going to our local Tex-Mex restaurant because of the guacamole that comes with every meal. They call it “the chip restaurant” because that’s their favorite part.

Southern Kitchen has some amazing recipes on their website, including one for an easy guacamole dip, so we decided to try it out.

Step by Step

Dice the red onion. Add it to a medium mixing bowl with the lime juice and salt. Let it rest for 5 minutes.

Gently fold in the fresh cilantro.

Open the avocado and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh. Add it into the onion mixture and mash it as you mix everything together. You want to leave the avocado slightly chunky.

Season to taste with salt and more lime, if desired. Serve with tortilla chips.
