Perfect Picnic Guacamole
Sometimes you want something a little different from the standard sandwich when you decide to have a picnic. Perfect Picnic Guacamole is a simple recipe, not too much work but something delicious all the same.
Guacamole definitely fits the bill and avocados are really good just now. It does annoy me when they are marked as ‘ripe and ready to use’ and then it takes a week for them to soften. However, this one was perfect with no bruising and it mashed down in a really pleasing manner.
Combined with some pitta bread and salad, the Perfect Picnic Guacamole becomes a feast. To transfer your guacamole to the picnic location, just put it in a plastic box and pack the bread and salad separately. You can spread the guacamole onto the pita bread, or tear it off and dip it into the soft mashed avocado. Take lots of napkins or kitchen towels to wipe your fingers and mouth after your feast.

Very appetising picture Janice. Guacomole is one of my favourites – well anything with avocado in really.
Thanks Choclette, trying to work on the photography all the time. Love your avocado cookies!
I love your photo Janice, it's beautiful. Love love love guacamole too… I remember being in a restaurant in LA where they came to your table with the avocado and opened it in front of you and made the fresh guacamole… it was wonderful!… so fresh and tasty and you're so right, simple but delicious!
Thanks Dom, I like the sound of having the guac made in front of you in the restaurant.
Absolutely wonderful Janice, I would love to have this on any picnic I went on! Karen
Aw thanks Karen, diy picnics are the best I think.
The perfect picnic accompaniment- your lovely recipe is a long, long way from my first introduction to guacamole in one of those self-assemble home fajita kits!
Thanks Kate. Yes, fresh guacamole is a long way from the kit versions!
Your guacamole looks absolutely gorgeous, Janice. A perfect entry for this month's Spice Trail challenge. Thank you so much for linking up 🙂
