Hi guys!! Today is very special day. Not only am I sharing this seriously delicious Mango Guacamole (more on that later), but I’m also helping to celebrate Carrian from Oh Sweet Basil’s 30th birthday!! Because Carrian would rather give than receive she’s hosting a full weeks worth of giveaways.
As most of you know, I’m a contributor on her blog, so of course I wanted to help her celebrate, and let me tell you, she has some killer prizes, today just so happens to be a $1,000 Amazon gift card. Think of the things you could buy!
Just enter your information in the rafflecopter below, and a winner will be chosen later this week.
Be sure to heard over to Oh Sweet Basil and check out The Girl Who Ate Everything, Fav Family Recipes, Lauren’s Latest, A Southern Fairytale, Something Swanky, Spoonful of Flavor, Centercut Cook, Sweet Treats More and Rachel Cooks who are also helping to celebrate Carrian’s birthday.
Now, on to guac!
While I’d describe myself as a guacamole purist most days, having a boatload of mangos left over prompted me to go off the beaten path a little bit.
Repeat…a little bit. I still kept most of the traditional ingredients; a little bit of red onion, cumin, lime juice, plenty of salt and of course, avocado, but threw a very sweet, but not too sweet curve ball with the addition of diced champagne mangos.
I was a little worried the combination of sweet mango and rich avocado might not work well, but those fancy Mexican restaurants are sure on to something, because it works perfectly.
Not much else to say, other than you guacamole lovers out there will rejoice once you try this variation. Plus today marks the end of tax season, for those of you that don’t know, my husband is a CPA and these last few months have been brutal, we pretty much never see each other in the light of day, so I’ve got to mosey on over to his work party to celebrate his FREEDOM!
Cheers! And don’t forget to enter the giveaway!

I’ve got a pretty long wish list on Amazon…. $1,000 would go a long way toward purchasing things on it like cookbooks, kitchen stuff and home furnishings. I think I would get things that are a mixture of practical and fun!
Kelsey says
looks refreshing and delicious!
Nicole says

Elin says
Probably more books! You can never have too many of those!
Nicole says
No you can’t!
Kathi @ Deliciously Yum! says
This must be the best combo ever!! I am already rejoicing :). Plus, you must have known about my current obsession with mangos – it’s amazing how you do that, ha!
Nicole says
SO good Kathi!!! 🙂
KL says
pay bills and bank the rest
Christin@SpicySouthernKitchen says
Knowing me, I’d probably spend the money on kitchen stuff and cookbooks.
This guacamole looks incredible. Guac is one of my favorite foods and the sweetness of that mango must be amazing. My mother used to be a CPA so I know those end of tax season parties can get a little wild 😉
Nicole says
Hahah me too. Oh yes they can. I was definitely the designated driver that night. Ha!
Shea @ Dixie Chik Cooks says
THAT is some beautiful guacamole!! I would spend the money on a few kitchen playthings and some things for my two teens, I’m sure.
Nicole says
Thank you Shea!!!
Layla @ Brunch Time Baker says
