Guacamole

Avocados are probably the most loved or hated vegetable of many. I happen to love the way they taste, and so I try to add them to salads, sandwiches or mexican food at every possible chance I can get. Avocados are full of good fats, so substituting guacamole in place of a cheese dip or a mayonnaise based dressing is actually going to be better for you.

Basic Guacamole Ingredients:

• 1-2 avocados
• fresh cilantro
• good olive oil
• 1 lime or lime juice
• fresh diced or dried garlic granules
• fresh chopped or dried onion flakes
• salt
• pepper
• tomatoes* optional

Directions:

• Half the avocado and remove the pit
• Cut avocado into cross sections and scope out of skin
• Put avocado squares in a bowl
• Add and mix ingredients
• Mash avocado to desired consistency

Serve with homemade tortilla chips or warm mediterranean pita bread as a snack
Serve on top of tacos, enchiladas, burritos or any other mexican foods
Serve with a homemade limeade or margarita

Enjoy!
