Great Summer Guacamole

I made this recently, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised! Very tasty!  The key is to buy fresh produce, and the avocados should come out of their skin fairly easily.  You can use a spoon, but you shouldn't have to force the avocado out.


Ingredients
  • 3 avocados - peeled, pitted, and mashed
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 pinch ground cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, mash together the avocados, lime juice, and salt. Mix in onion, cilantro, tomatoes, and garlic. Stir in cayenne pepper. Refrigerate 1 hour for best flavor, or serve immediately.               

ENJOY!

(I did end up refrigerating for an hour. I would encourage you to do so as well.  Optimal taste that way. If you like spicy...try to add a tsp of cayenne instead of a pinch.  I did.)
