Guacamole Recipe

If there’s one dish I love, it’s guacamole! Although it’s most often thought of as a dip for tortilla chips, I actually use guacamole for much more than that — a baked potato topper, as a dip for fresh veggies or just spread on a sandwich.  This guacamole dip is great on chicken and can be used in the same way as salsa.

Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 1 medium tomato (ripe)
• 2 ripe avocados
• 1 small red onion, minced
• 1 cup cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
• 1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1/4 tsp. sea salt
• Dash of pepper (if desired)

Directions:

1. Cut the tomato in half.  Take each half and squeeze out as much of the seeds and juice as possible.  Cut the remaining flesh into small chunks and set aside.
2. Scoop the flesh out of the avocados and place in a medium sized bowl.  Roughly mash the avocado flesh with a fork.  Leave some chunks, if desired.  Stir in the tomato, onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper.
3. Serve immediately.
