Guacamole

In nature of today, Cinco De Mayo, I wanted to post a delicious and fresh guacamole recipe that is not only tasty, but festive! Olé!



What you will need:

1 ripe avocado
1 tbsp onion, diced
1 small vine-ripe tomato, diced
1 jalapeno chili, seeded & chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp fresh lime or lemon juice
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp cilantro leaves, chopped
salt & pepper to taste

Simple directions:

1. Take the avocado cut across the center to split in halves.

2. Take the pit out and spoon the avocado out of shell.

3. Mash avocado in a bowl with lime/lemon juice.

4. Fold in all the other ingredients and serve with chips.

(I even like to put the guacamole back into the shell)

Serves:

One to two people. Definitely triple recipe if making for a larger party.

  5. Isn't it totally cute to put the guac back into the shell? I love the idea, especially if each person gets one!

    A scoop of salsa would be a great idea to some mashed up avocados. super simple.

    I looooooove avocados too! I like to just spoon them out of the shell with a little salt. And on sandwiches, omg!
