One of my favorite recipes last summer was this Southwestern Inspired Guacamole, and it quickly became a hit. When I shared a reel on Instagram and Facebook, the feedback was amazing—people especially loved it on Facebook!

This recipe has a fun backstory. My daughter, Anna, and I stumbled upon a Southwestern guacamole at Aldi while shopping for snacks for our movie night. One bite, and we were hooked!

But as someone who loves creating in the kitchen, I couldn’t resist trying to make it myself.

After reading the ingredients list, I got inspired. I firmly believe every recipe has room for improvement.

While some recipes take a bit of trial and error to perfect, this one came together beautifully from the start.

Now, six months later, it’s still a family favorite. We make it at least once every couple of weeks. To be honest, I am grateful that we can find most produce like tomatoes and avocados all year long.

This guacamole is incredibly versatile. We enjoy it as a topping on fresh salads, stuffed into chicken wraps with plenty of grilled chicken and crisp lettuce, or simply as a dip with tortilla chips.

I said this is for 4 people, but between you and me, I can finish this whole bowl. I love this dip so much and I hope you do too.

If you decide to give Southwestern Inspired Guacamole a try, I’d love to hear what you think! Let me know how you like it or how you make it your own.

• Drizzle of Olive Oil
