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!

Love mango guacamole! I also like to add pomegranate arils as well if they’re around in the market. Aren’t you super excited for an influx of mexican recipes in the next few weeks?!?! Woohooooo!
And what a cool giveaway! Considering that Asheley and I are in the process of house hunting, we would put that $1000 towards some furniture for sure!

I like your idea of adding sweet mango to the guacamole…love the additional color it adds to one of my favorite nibbles.

Happy birthday to Carrian! As for the guacamole, it’s my dip of choice on most days and this looks so fresh and bright with that mango! I’m going to have to give this a try. 🙂
Samantha says
This recipe looks amazing….perfect for summer.
Annie Block says
I would help my parents pay for some of my wedding, or use it to support myself + my fiance during my dietetic internship – it’s unfortunately unpaid! 🙁
Alaina {Fabtastic Eats} says
oh my! I love guacamole in it’s truest form too, but sometimes there is nothing better than one that is all spruced up! Mangos are my favorite fruit and I can definitely get on board with this!!
