LadyontheHarbour on 2026-06-03 (5 stars): This is a wonderful recipe! The fresh lime juice with chopped cilantro was an amazing combination! I also loved it because there was no hot pepper sauce or anything masking the true flavors of the dish. Just delightful!
Muhwezi Arnold on 2026-05-26 (5 stars): I love the recipe though I replaced the black pepper with white pepper but guacamole is amazing thank you Natasha
Charlene Kehoe on 2026-05-19 (5 stars): Absolutely delicious. I thought i was back in Mexico!!
Shelley Wagner on 2026-05-12 (5 stars): Wow! this was so good. I did exchange the cilantro with parsley because I am one of those people who thinks it tastes like soap. But will make this again and again
Ana on 2026-05-01 (5 stars): This is thee best guacamole recipe my family ever tried,🥑my dad said it is his new favorite.🩷THANK YOU NATASHA🩷!!!
Mark G on 2026-04-26 (5 stars): Hi Natashia. I am one of those who doesn't like cilantro (tastes like soap), so I add a sweet and savory twist to mine. I add chopped mango and chili powder, a great flavor boost although hardly "authentic".
Beki on 2026-02-08 (5 stars): We have had good luck with putting guacamole 🥑 in a vacuumed seal bag and freezing it.
Jane Saret on 2026-02-03 (5 stars): Hi Natasha, I like everyone else love your recipes. I make your guacamole all the time and have your cookbook. You add cumin in the recipe in your cookbook and it sure brings it up to the next level!!!!!
K.R on 2025-12-23 (5 stars): I've never been a huge fan of guacamole. But I wanted to find a different healthy dip. Natasha recipes have never failed to amaze me so I thought let's see if she has one. OMG!!! It is amazing! I am in love
