I love good food. You might have noticed from all my recipe postings. Publix had their avocados on sale this week, and I couldn’t resist! They were perfectly ripe when I bought them, so naturally the guacamole had to be made yesterday as soon as I got home from work. :) Well, here’s another super tasty recipe…if you like good guacamole. I LOVE it!
Guacamole
2 hass avocados, peeled, pitted and mashed
½ small onion, finely chopped
½ clove garlic, finely chopped
1 small ripe tomato, finely chopped
Juice from 1 lime
Salt and pepper to taste
Mix everything together then salt and pepper to taste! It’s really that easy. You can vary the ratios of everything to make it how you like it. I’m a purist, so this works well for me. I made this recipe when I got home and proceeded to eat the ENTIRE batch. Trust me, it was totally worth it.
Some of you might be scared of avocados…I used to be. But they’re so easy! Cut all the way around the avocado, longways. Then you can twist the two halves apart. Take your knife and “karate chop” it into the pit (don’t be timid), then twist the pit to remove. Use a large spoon to scoop out the pulp. Some people like to score the avocado before scooping. That’s up to your personal preference. Once the pulp is scooped out, you can mash it with a fork to whatever consistency you like.
See? Easy. Enjoy!

I too am an avocado freak! I literally eat one a day...and think it's super hilarious that it's Paula's favorite food too! I swear...there is an art to determining a perfectly ripened avocado. I have been on a kick this week too...and made two batches of guacamole this week (we must think alike:) I did mine like yours, except I minced 1/4 onion and minced one garlic clove, and also included finely chopped red bell pepper...everything else the same. I had it for lunch several days this week on pita with some mixed greens for crunch. Yummy!
