    Rafi’s Guacamole

    Mar 27, 2015 / by Laney Schwartz / 4 Comments(updated Jan 7, 2020)

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    It’s officially spring, which means it’s officially guac o’ clock. 

    guac-3Won’t you join me?! Who’s bringing the chips? 

    I’ll tell you who.  Rafi.  

    Rafi makes THE. BEST. GUAC. EVER. I’m so lucky because a) he’s one of our best friends, b) he lives around the corner, and c) he makes the best guac ever.  Oh, did I mention that already?

    guacRafi and Josh of Form are two of our closest friends who we met about 5 years ago when we were referred to them as amazing designers to help us with our first home.  They were of course, nothing short of fabulous, and that designer/client relationship quickly turned into a friendship that will last a lifetime.  A friendship based on inappropriate jokes, laughter, and lots of love.

    The first time I tried this recipe I was sold.  guac-4

    I don’t think I’ll ever be able to make it as good as Rafi does, but I sure as hell will never stop trying!

    There’s nothing fancy about the recipe, and I’ve done my very best to replicate the exact taste.  A lot of it has to do with the sweetness of your avocados and tomatoes. So pick em’ good!

    If it’s still snowing where you live, you can pretend it feels like spring with Rafi’s rockin’ guacamole. Seriously?  I’m so lame.
