For a party of 10 people, it's recommended to use about 4 to 5 medium-sized avocados. This should yield enough guacamole for everyone to enjoy, especially if it's served alongside chips or other snacks.
For a small gathering of 4 people, 2 to 3 medium-sized avocados should suffice. This amount will provide a generous serving of guacamole for each guest.
Yes, you can make guacamole with just one avocado. It will yield a smaller portion, perfect for a quick snack or if you're cooking for just one or two people.
For a large crowd of 25 people, you should plan on using about 10 to 12 avocados. This will ensure that there is plenty of guacamole to go around, especially if it's a main appetizer.
Yes, the size of the avocado does affect how many you should use. Medium avocados typically yield more flesh than small ones, so if you're using small avocados, you might need to use more—around 1.5 to 2 small avocados per serving compared to 1 medium avocado.
