Guacamole

Yield: ~6 servings

Ingredients:

  • Juice of ½ lime (or 1 lime, as desired)
  • ½ medium red or white sweet onion, finely chopped
  • 4 medium ripe avocados pitted
  • 2 garlic cloves pressed or minced (or garlic powder to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ medium red or white sweet onion, chopped
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro, mostly leaves, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped

Method:

  1. Mix the finely chopped onion with the lime juice to marinate while you prepare the other ingredients. This helps to cut the onion’s sharp flavor.
  2. With a spoon, scoop the avocado flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the garlic and salt. Mash the ingredients together with a large fork or potato masher until the avocado is nice and creamy.
  3. Add the onion, chopped cilantro and jalapeño to the bowl and mix well. Taste for seasoning and adjust as desired.
  4. To serve, transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl. with some additional chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
