One of my all time favorite foods has got to be guacamole. This usually ends in me eating way to much. I do love to indulge once in a while and this is one great food to do it on. When I saw this recipe over at Chelsy’s site Mangia I knew we would have a slam dunk, home run kind of recipe. Plus I have never seen a guacamole recipe that incorporated orange juice, so I thought let’s give it a whirl. The results were tremendous, as I knew they would be! Another Secret Recipe Club home run. I used store-bought chips to dip in the dip, but head on over to the original if you want an additional recipe for homemade chips.
Thanks Secret Recipe Club for another fabulous assignment!
- 3 ripe Hass avocados, peeled and pitted
- 1/2 small red onion, finely diced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, finely diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely diced
- juice of 1 orange
- 1/4 c. chopped fresh cilantro
- sea salt and pepper, to taste
- tortilla chips to dip
1. Chop avocados into bite sized chunks and mash with potato masher. I like my guacamole a little chunky, so mash to the way you like it.
2. Stir in onion, jalapeno, garlic, orange, cilantro and spices. Cover tightly with Saran wrap (make sure that it is directly on guacamole, and refrigerate until ready to eat. I like to leave it about an hour to let flavors meld. Serve with tortilla chips.
3. Eat and enjoy!

Thank you sooooo much! This is one of my favorite guacamole recipes. So fresh and tasty!
Ahh, digging the addition of orange juice to this guacamole – I’m a big time lover of anything avocado – can’t wait to try this one!
What a fantastic idea to add orange juice! I bet this is so refreshing!
omg yes!! i love guacamole and i never would have thought to add orange. pinning to try.
I could probably eat guacamole every day and never tire of it! So yum!
Mmmm loving the addition of the orange! I bet this is fantastic!
Interesting, never would have thought of citrus with guac, but a lovely idea. Looks wonderful!
I am a big fan of avocado. Your guacamole sounds delicious and unique. Great job!
What a great recipe and looks super tasty. Glad to be part of SRC group C with you!
this is definitely an eat and enjoy recipe!
Now that is neat! My sister makes salsa with juices from lemon, lime and orange, so I guess that orange must work some magic. Can’t wait to try it!
I love Guacamole! I can say I have never used orange. This looks wonderful. My mouth is watering.
Mmmm…guacamole, so simple and so delicious. Yours looks great!
As soon as I saw the word citrus followed by guacamole I knew I would fall for it. I’ve used lime and lemon…so why not orange, inspirational.
Not sure why I never thought to put other citrus in guac besides lime but I love the idea!! Will definitely try with orange and maybe even grapefruit???
