Fresh Guacamole Appetizer Snack Camping Recipe
Our family can make an entire meal out of camping snacks that are intended to be just appetizers! One of the reasons I love this Fresh Guacamole Appetizer Camping Snack Recipe is because the ingredients are fridge-free and you know how challenging cold storage can be on camping trips!
We graze through a relaxing afternoon at the campsite munching on yummy snacks. The abundance of fresh avocados in the summer, begs for a batch of guac! You only need to refrigerate leftovers and I’m guessing you won’t have issues there because you won’t have any!
Psst we’re compensated…see our disclosures.
How To Make Fresh Guacamole
Camp Cooking Tip: When I am using fresh herbs in my camping recipes, unless it is super hot outside, I just store them in water in a shady location to maintain their freshness. You can put them in a cup with water or use something like the Prepara Herb Savor that has a basin you fill with water and seal the cap.
The herb savor can be easily packed in a cooler or RV refrigerator if you don’t want to deal with “moving shade” throughout the day.
Mix the avocados, lime juice, tomato, jalapeno pepper, garlic cloves, red onion, cilantro, salt and pepper together. Be sure to use a non-reactive bowl.
Serve with tortilla chips.
Leftovers
Store leftovers in a refrigerator or cooler covered with plastic wrap touching the guacamole. If air gets to it, it will turn brown.
Pairings
If you are creating an entire Mexican-themed meal make a batch of this Sweet Onion Salsa Recipe too. If you use chips that don’t have gluten, both of these recipes are awesome gluten free camping food options.
Then, for the main course, make these Cast Iron Dutch Oven Chicken Enchiladas. Get all of our Dutch oven Mexican recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
If you are making this Fresh Guacamole Appetizer Camping Snack Recipe as an opener to a regular dinner meal, consider pairing it with our fast and almost-gourmet 3TV Tacos With Jalapeno Lime Sauce Camp Recipe. You will be the camp cook hero!!!
If you are doing an appetizer spread rather than an entire camp dinner, you should include this Awesome Hot Cheesy Spinach Artichoke Dip Campfire Dutch Oven Appetizer Recipe as part of your nosh menu.
