Guacamole


We LOVE guacamole.  We use a very simple recipe and it's always a huge hit (witness the kids devouring it with spoons!  Cecily was very upset when it was all gone).

3 ripe avocados
1 ripe tomato
fresh cilantr0 
fresh lime juice (one lime is about right)
kosher salt to taste

1.  Slice the avocados in half; remove the pit (insert a paring knife gently into the pit and twist while holding the avocado, pit should come right out), and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Mash the avocado gently with a fork or potato masher (or in a food processor), leaving plenty of small chunks.

2.  Chop the tomato into bite size chunks, add to the avocado.

3.  Finely mince cilantro (to taste, a tablespoon is a good start) and add to the bowl.

4.  Add the lime juice.

5.  Add a 1/2 tsp salt.  (We use Morton Kosher Salt, it makes a difference.)

6.  Mix well, and add additional salt as needed.

Serve with blue corn chips, cut up veggies, etc.
