Holy Guacamole!

In the spirit of cinco de mayo, I decided I would make guacamole, one of my favorite dips. Never having made guacamole before I found it exciting to try something new! One of my favorite things about cooking is being able to add a pinch of this and a slash of that. I'm not a fan of exact measurements. Before making this guacamole, I looked up different recipes to get an idea for the proportions of each ingredient.

So this is how I made my guacamole:

Ingredients:

2 Hass avocados

1 tomato

1/4 red onion diced

juice of half a lime

1 tbsp of cilantro diced

1.Start by mashing up the avocados  with a fork until there are small chucks (you can make it as chunky or smooth as you want). 

2.Mix in diced tomatoes, red onions, cilantro and lime juice. 

3. Add a teaspoon or so of salt for taste.

Some people like their guac a little spicy so feel free to add your favorite hot sauce to give it an extra kick. 

The final product was full of flavor! I am not a fan of cilantro yet I feel as though its a major component in the traditional taste of guacamole. The lime adds a nice bright taste while the combination of cilantro and red onion give it a little bite. Lastly you need the best carrier for the dip, the chip. My favorite chip to use for dipping is Trader Joe's Organic white corn tortilla chip. Make sure to get a good amount of gauc on your chip and enjoy!
