There’s guacamole and then there is KILLER guacamole.  This recipe is in the KILLER category because it will make you feel like you’re in a tropical Caribbean paradise.

But first, make sure to find the tastiest avocados.  Hass avocados are plentiful here in California and have a buttery taste. They are my all-time favorite. They are also grown in Chile on the hillsides of mountains which protects them from pests and other conditions that could affect their taste.

Mango adds a zingy taste to the guacamole that really sets it apart. If mangos are not available you can substitute papaya instead. Both are excellent and give this Caribbean guacamole a tropical taste.

Just thinking about this recipe reminds me of my sailboat trip to the Grenadines and Grenada.

Serve this festive dip with vegetables or chips. I found some colorful chips made with vegetables shown below.
