Guacamole has been one of my favorite foods for a while now. However, I did not stat making it until recently. Making fresh homemade Guacamole can be challenging, but this is a very simple recipe that anyone can make.
What you will need:
3 Hass Avocados, halved, seeded, and peeled
1 Fresh Lime that has been juiced
1/2 an Onion peeled and diced
1 tablespoon of freshly chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional)
1/2 teaspoon of Sea Salt
1 Diced Tomato
Directions:
In a large bowl combine the avocados and half of the lemon juice. Combine with cilantro, cayenne pepper, sea salt using a potato masher (or a spoon). Carefully fold the cilantro and tomato into the mixture making sure not to mash the tomatoes too much. Add the last of the lemon Juice, let it sit for a good half an hour before serving.
Tips:
Choosing the perfect Avocado
Determining when an Avocado is ripened can be difficult. It took me numerous amounts of attempts to find out when my avocados were perfect enough to eat. The trick to ripening the avocado is to let it sit in a brown paper bag for a day or too. Before using make sure that when you squeeze it that it's not too hard. If the avocado is too hard DO NOT PEEL IT. If you peel the avocado when it is hard you have just wasted it. Make sure you do not let the avocados sit too long because the inside will become a brown mushy mess and again, you have wasted an avocado.
Make it your own!
All of my recipes have been tweaked from numerous amount of recipes that I have used before in the past. You may not like the way that I made this recipe and I understand that. Feel free to add whatever or take out whatever ingredients you want. You can also serve it with the traditional tortilla chips(I prefer whole grain), make a delicious Mexican dish, or eat it plain! Remember the key to a healthy lifestyle is creativity!
