    Common serving size for guacamole is only 2 Tbsp. Looks like this recipe would make enough for 8 servings if that's all you count. For my family, it would only be 3 servings, unless I added the pomegranite seeds, then would be 4... - 3/24/09

    I always save the pit and put it in the dip until ready to serve. I have heard that it keeps the dip from getting dark. Don't know if it's true since I've always done it. - 3/14/09

    the best way to keep guacamole from turning colors is to put Glad press n seal on the guacamole so it touches it. Push out all of the air and make sure the press n seal is touching the sides of the inside of the bowl so no air can get in. - 6/26/10

    Is "8 servings" correct for using only one avocado? - 3/24/09

    I made this with tomato puree and lemon juice instead, and added some cayenne pepper instead of jalapenos - and it tasted amazing! The best guacamole I've ever had - thanks for sharing the recipe!! - 11/18/08

    This was my first time making guacamole, and I don't think I made it right, based on the other people's ratings. I'll will save the recipe and try it again another time. - 9/4/08

    Easy to make, but make sure you don't make it too early and make only what will/can be eaten, doesn't save well. I used lime juice. - 6/5/08

    the idea of topping guacamole with sour cream is certainly delicious !! I'm going to try it tonight. However, I'll add some garlic, cumin and hot sauce. What's the serving size per person? - 5/23/08

    My husband even loved this stuff. I did leave out the onions on his part, but both ways were delicious! Thanks for sharing this great recipe! Also I used lemon instead of lime because that's what I had. - 3/8/07
