Friends, I’ve made you something green, chunky, and vastly versatile. Something seriously scrumptious. Totally tasty.
You can make it a snack, a meal, a dip or a spread. Really. Just add some cold beverages and good company and you’re destined for a glorious Summer night. I did that for YOU!
It’s healthy too – so it won’t make you feel so bad about breaking up with the gym this weekend. Or eating half a chocolate cake with sweet creamy coffee at 7 am. Or abandoning the whole “eat better and get a booty like Pippa Middleton” plan.
… that was my plan.
Did I mention this green flavor bomb is creamy-buttery-smooth-dream town?
And there isn’t a single ounce of cream or butter?! gasp. And, it has GOOD fats in it!! Say it with me, GOOD FAT. Simple, spicy, avocado magic.
Sweet diced mango adds a sunny burst of color and flavor. Mangos are ferociously sexy right now. Fleshy, plump, and bursting with juicy goodness, the way they should be. This dreamy stone fruit plays something deliciously fierce against the fiery heat of the jalapenos.
Wait. You brought the chips, right?
I hope you got fresh, salty ones. Stale corn chips really do this dip an injustice.
Don’t be like me and pull out that bag (you know, the one all the way at the back of the cabinet that you ripped opened after too many tequilas and then forgot to chip clip shut. yea, that one) and try and pass them off as fresh. You will notice. Your guest will totally notice.
They won’t say anything, (unless you do first) because they are your guest after all. And i’m sure they don’t want to look like a huge chip snob jerk face. Ya know? But deep down they will be wondering why the heck you would make such an amazing dip, only to serve it up with stale, crisp-less chips.
Whhhyyyyy???
So just buy new chips, please please please. Please? This is me begging. And, asking nicely. Because it’s that important, and I only want the best for you! You could also toast up some baguette and slice it thinly, which is what I ended up doing in the end. Just be sure to take small bites of the baguette and CHEW… like a human, not a horse, lest you pull a jaw muscle and then feel the need to whine about it for the next 45 minutes- You know who you are.
I really wish I was eating this right now. I wouldn’t use chips. Or bread. Just a spoon. I would scoop it straight from bowl to mouth, happy as a clam.
What I’m trying to tell you is, I think you should make this for dinner, or a snack, or as an appetizer for your next party, and then invite me over. I’ll bring the chips, fresh ones. Promise.

Hey Jessica! You are going to be eating your heart out; I ate almost ALL of this in one sitting, and I have zero regret. Let me know how it turns out; happy produce shopping dear.
What a brilliant idea adding mango to your guacamole!!! I’ve got to try this! 🙂
Hi Sheila! Thank you dear, it was definitely brilliant in taste, I must admit. I hope you do give it a try and love it as much as we did; report back to me if you get around to making this and let me know how it went.
Everything about this sounds fabulous! Love all the ingredients! I can’t wait to try this!
New to your blog; happy I found you!

Delightful Bitefuls
Hi Mary! I hope you give it a try, and love it as much as I do! Happy you found me also; looking forward to sharing more recipes I hope you like.
I have never had avocado and mango together? Wow this sounds and looks amazing! Thanks for sharing this recipe! : ) Anna
It’s so so tasty!
After reading your blog post I browsed your website a bit and noticed you aren’t ranking nearly as well in Google as you could be. I possess a handful of blogs myself and I think you should take a look here: http://dominateseowithwordpress.com You’ll find it’s a very nice tool that can bring you a lot more visitors. Keep up the quality posts
Wow! That does look good 🙂
I wish I could get avocado in India!!
Hi Charis! No avocados in India, eh? That would raise a problem for guacamole. Hopefully you will find something here that you can make 🙂
Ooooh…looks scrumptious. Love the addition of mangos! So glad I found your site. Your exuberance and witty writing is fun to read.
Hey there Geni! I love mangos and guacamole both as if, but the combo of the two flavors is ridiculously good. Glad you enjoyed your time here, and I hope to hear from you again.
This guacamole looks delicious! I love guacamole but never make it myself too often! I should get better at that! 🙂
Hey there Lisa! I love guacamole too, I know making it homemade seems like extra work when you can just buy a tub of the premade stuff, but the taste is totally worth it.
This looks so yummy!! Guac is one of my fav foods! I can easily go through a bowl without any help 🙂 and that is the way I prefer to do it:) haha
Hi Ari. Ha, I am always tempted to eat the whole bowl myself too, but sharing with someone cute can be totally worth it.
Lovely photos- Everything looks so fresh and luscious, I’m tempted to take a bite out of my computer screen! 😉
Thanks so much Hannah! I get tempted like that all the time too!
