Recipe notes:
General: You can totally double or triple this recipe for a big party. I've found that 2 jumbo avocados usually makes enough gucacamole for 3-4 adults, especially when there's additional food and appetizers in your spread. Salt: I like using kosher salt and generally end up adding about ¼ teaspoon. Regular table salt also works!Instructions
