Greetings from Guacamole


Now that you have arrived with everything ready (gather a friend or two, this makes enough for company), here’s the actual recipe:

In a large bowl mix together:

2 ripe avocados (peeled and diced)-use Hass avocados (the small, rough, bumpy kind)
1/2 of a small onion or one shallot- finely chopped
1 or 2 small garlic cloves- finely chopped
1 small ripe tomato- chopped (very, very optional)
1 Tablespoon of lemon or lime juice
1 teaspoon of chili powder – or more to taste
1/4 teaspoon of ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste

Combine ingredients with a fork, mashing the avocado against the side of your bowl. Leave some chunks; it’s more fun that way! Also, this is one of those recipes that are totally up for interpretation. Try it this way than adjust to your preference.


Health Note: If you are going to eat this with tortilla chips, do yourself a big favor and choose a brand made with non-hydrogenated fats.
