So I love to cook and entertain, what's wrong with that? I host dinner parties all the time and have been asked to share recipes, pictures, ideas, etc., with co-workers, friends and family. I finally decided to make this happen, please enjoy!

Guacamole
I love guacamole and could just sit in front of a large bowl of it and eat myself like it's Thanksgiving. Luckily I don't make it that often, so I'm not that out of control! This is a very simple recipe and you need to make this with my favorite Salsa recipe which was just recently posted. I like my guacamole a little chunky, but feel free to process the avocados as much or as little as you like. You will also notice that I left the avocado seed in my guacamole...did you know this helps it from turning brown?
Guacamole
4 Ripe Avocados
Roma Tomato
Juice from 1/2 fresh Lime
1/4 Cup Salsa
1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Cumin
Cut avocados in half and remove the seed. Next cut avocado into cubes while still in the skin, then scoop into bowl with a large spoon. Using a fork smash the avocados to desired consistency. Cut tomato in half, remove stem and seeds, then cut into a fine dice, add to bowl. Add the lime juice, salsa, garlic salt, and cumin and mix thoroughly. Adjust seasoning with salt. Let sit for a few minutes before serving so flavors all meld together.
He eats the whole bowl... and enjoyed every bit. That would be me, too, with this incredible dip. Great simple recipe for this delicious classic, too!
ReplyDeleteFresh guacamole is the best. You have me craving Mexican now.
ReplyDeleteOh Guac, how I love you.
ReplyDeleteVariation: thinly slice elephant garlic, toast in the oven and add to guac. You'll clear a room with the potent smell but it's delicious!
