     This is very similar to the low fat recipe I use. I add chopped fresh cilantro (or the paste from the tube) AND I add nonfat plain yogurt. The yogurt cuts the fat per serving and makes the guac more creamy. I add about 1/4 cup to one avocado - 1/7/09

     Tasty! Added garlic and some greek yogurt to reduce fat and used half the salt to keep sodium down. Great! - 6/30/09

     This was fantastic! 4 days later, it is still green--no browning! - 1/15/09

     Yum - Loved it. I used lime instead of lemon......and mixed in some fresh tomato salsa I just made too........ awesome! I love the cucumber in it! Definitely will keep making this! - 6/24/09

     This would be good to replace cucumber with jicama too and add some cilantro and maybe jalepeno for some heat - 2/9/09

     Not only did it sound great, it was great. I added a few mild peper rings and used a bit more cucumber & onion, family (including the kids) loved it! - 9/22/08

     I never tried this but on TV, a chef was saying to blanch the avocado for 5 seconds in boiling water, then icy cold water and the avocado won't brown...worth a try!...will keep you posted! - 6/21/09

     Delicious! I didn't have any lemons so I substituted vinegar, apple juice and coriander which thankfully was a perfect substitute. This was my first time eating guacamole and I really liked it. I had homemade pita chips with it, mmmm :) - 11/7/08

     Even with lemon, the guacamole can brown - the fail-safe non browning trick is to cover with ceran wrap and PRESS the wrap right onto the top of the guacamole. I hardly ever use lemon and it never browns when I store it :) - 2/9/09
  • MEGLONON
     I added more garlic, onion and grape tomatoes instead of the cucumber.....delish! I didn't use a blender, but I like my guac chunkier. - 1/15/08

     This is perfect with a little tomato, cilantro, and chili powder. Thanks, Coach Nicole! (P.S. I love your videos!) - 9/8/08

     Absolutely out of this world. I've only had guacamole one other time at a restaurant and I really didn't care for it. I decided to give it a try one more time, this time making it fresh at home. I'm so glad I did. This recipe rocks! - 1/26/09
  • WOOFGANG
     My family and I loved this. I did add greek yogurt (fat free) as I have started adding to everything I want a little creamier, and it did the trick. I also use this as a spread for hamburgers (turkey burgers) and sandwiches instead of mayo, delicious! - 6/30/10
  • HOWDOIHEARTTHEE
     I added a seeded diced tomato, a seeded and diced jalepeno pepper, 3 cloves of garlic, and some lime juice as well as the lemon juice, and it was fresh and very tasty! - 8/6/09

     Adding cucumber is brilliant. I've been searching for cucumber recipes lately. When I made this I also included a small tomato and a dash of cayenne. It was wonderful. - 9/2/08
  • K9CLAUDIA
     I just made this guacamole. I've been meaning to make it for weeks, but seemed to always be missing a crucial ingredient that could not be subbed out. It's FANTASTIC...I LOVE GUAC!!! This is now added to my favorite recipes that I make every weekend. Thank you Coach Nicole, for sharing! - 3/27/10
  • RMSLIL
     Made it tonight but I forgot the cumin. I had cumin too. It was delicious. I let it sit for about 15-20 minutes to let the flavors marinate. delish! - 5/22/09

     Awesome recipe, the addition of the cucumber gives it a very nice light refreshing taste! - 5/5/08

     This was fantastic and soooo fresh tasting! I added a little salsa for more liquid...it gave it a horrible color but tasted incredible! :) - 5/6/08
  • WANNABTHIN02
     I used the cucumbers to cut down on the calories,but also added on the border salsa. My family loved it , which is a plus. - 2/8/10

     This is great! I love the flavors. I usually just mash the avocado but this time I tried it in the blender. I liked it that way as well.
