Most people become very suspicious when guacamole is changed. Especially when you add fruit in it. I understand their concerns. I had them as well. Plus, I wasn't a huge fan of guacamole in general. But when I tried mango guacamole at my free cooking class, I loved it. So did everyone else who tried it. This was my first real attempt at preparing food from scratch. I admit, I had to have someone supervise me, and I had to have my supervisor figure out what was missing from the original recipe. But other than that, it was all me!
Preparation
Peel mango. Chop onion, tomatoes, and avocados. Only use the tomato skin. Combine all ingredients. Mash.
I normally hate cilantro, but it tasted great in the recipe. I bought a bundle of cilantro, and I believe I chopped up a good handful. Garlic was the special ingredient my friend added that brought out a lot of flavor and made it great. She had minced garlic in the fridge, and I believe she added around a teapoon.
I'm not a big fan of guac period, but this sounds intresting. Is it very sweet? Or is it more citrus-y because of the lemon/lime juice? And did you use both of those or just one? I'm asking because my mom & sis (sis especially) are fans of guac & may like this.
I wasn't really a huge fan of guac either, but I really like this. I just used the lime juice, but using lemon (instead of lime) can give it a different flavor. It tastes good too, but I preferred the lime.
It wasn't overly sweet either. I think it was just sweet enough. And if you got a scoop of dip without a mango cube, you almost wouldn't know the mango was in there. I'd definitely give it a try, everyone loved it!
