Everyone has their preferred way to make guacamole. Some, like it simple and prefer to let the flavour of avocado shine. Others like to go crazy on the ingredients… spices, tomatoes, garlic, you name it. Whatever your thing is, these guac’s are bound to leave you wanting more.
For all 3-creative guacamole dips, it is important to use great quality avocados. Here at Todelli, we always use Spanish Hass Avocado’s. The small scale, family produced avocados are from Malaga.
Spanish Avo is grown in stacked layers in controlled environments and our farmers are certified growers and responsible for the area’s environment and the well-being of its inhabitants.

This spicy guacamole lights a small fire in your mouth forcing you to eat it slowly and savour each bite. Holy guacamole!

For a bit of extra spice you can try out Gloucestershire Chilli Farm’s products — they have Original Pear Chilli Jelly which can be spread on toast with the guacamole or you can drizzle their Original Chilli Infused Balsamic Vinegar of Modena on top of your guac. It is packed full of flavour, with a nice chilli kick at the end. Made with a beautiful organic balsamic vinegar from Italy to ensure its quality, then infused with Ring of Fire chillies — the end result, one seriously tasty product!

THE FRUITY ONE
While guacamole is tasty in its traditional form, step it up a notch by adding seasonal fruit.
Toss in a handful of pomegranate seeds (you definitely won’t use a whole pomegranate) and about 1/2 of a mango, finely diced. Guacamole with mango and pomegranate is our personal new favourite. It has a bright and fresh flavour, with the pomegranate seeds giving a tart little flavour burst along the way.

3 avocados
Pomegranate seeds
½ a mango
½ a fresh lime
Salt

We prefer a chunkier guac, so we like to mash everything together by hand. But, if you prefer smooth guac, a food processor is perfect! If you still like a little texture, try pulsing the mixture and check frequently to make sure it’s not getting too smooth.
