Not all things that go with AVOCADO go in GUACAMOLE

Heritage Avocados & lemon

One of my pet peeves is when people call all things with avocado "guacamole". Stop it peeps!

Salt from 7 seas

Guacamole is by the Diva's definition (and, after all, that's what matters! Lol....)

A "mole" (sauce, in Spanish) made with an aquacate (avocado's name in the original Aztec). It must have these two other things:
- salt

- lime or lemon juice

Anything beyond that get's iffy... but if they are of "Mexican" type origin - then you can still call it guacamole (according to the Avocado Diva). 

• onions
• garlic
• pepper(s)
• tomato
• cilantro
• other savory spices 

These things can be dried, flaked, chopped, diced, sliced, - WHATEVER!  Of course, the Diva's favorite is with FRESH, fresh (did I mention fresh?!) ingredients.  Except the garlic. That must be from her own, original Guacamole Spice Mix (click here). 

Once you get beyond this list -- then it needs to be called something else. A salad. A refresco. "The world's longest title for an avocado dish that is mashed but has weird things in it (that could still be delicious) like shrimp or crab as well as fresh dill." A creamed avocado with _____________.

But do NOT call it guacamole.
