by

This simple and healthful guacamole is my staple party dip and does not disappoint. Full of flavor and zest, it brightens any table.

yield: 6

prep time: 5 MINUTES

total time: 5 MINUTES

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe avocados
  • 1 Tbsp finely chopped red onion
  • 2 heaping Tbsp finely chopped cilantro
  • 2 tsp lime juice (or lemon juice)
  • 1 Tbsp finely chopped jalapeno
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cocktail, 1 Roma, or 10 cherry tomatoes, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Mash your avocados with a fork until you have a mushy consistency. Add lime juice.
  2. Add finely chopped red onion and jalapeno, tomatoes, salt and cilantro. Mix all ingredients well. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Notes

  1. Feel free to use lemon juice if you don't have lime available, but lime is encouraged.
  2. Make sure your avocados are soft to the touch and ripe.
  3. Try to stick to smaller, heartier tomatoes with thicker skin and avoid the larger variety as those will add too much liquid to the guacamole.
  4. Letting the guacamole rest in the refrigerator covered for 30 minutes before serving will allow all the flavors to marry.
