Guacamole

Ingredients

  • 5 Avocados
  • 1.5 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • Fresh lime juice

Instructions

  • Point the tip of a chefs knife into the middle of the avocado. Turn the knife around the center of the avocado until you have gone around it completely.
  • Remove the knife, twist both halfs and open the avocado.
  • Holding the avocado in one hand and your knife in the other firmly swing the knife down onto the pit until it’s firmly lodged in the center of the pit. Turn the knife to remove the pit.
  • Run a spoon along the edge of the avocado and scoop into a large bowl. Repeat with the remaining avocado halfs.
  • Next, take your knife and run it through the avocado turning the bowl to get it from different directions.
  • Then take a fork and start to mash the avocado to your desired consistency.
  • Add the salt, garlic, and lemon juice, mix well. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
  • Place pits back in guacamole and sprinkle the top with a squeeze of fresh lime juice. 
  • ENJOY!!

Notes

*Cooks note: To prevent further browning cover the top with saran wrap and press down so the  saran wrap is touching the top of the guac. Browning is a result of oxidation, if the top of the guacamole doesn’t have contact with air from the time it’s made until the time it’s served it will maintain its natural green color. 
*ADD INS-  Depending on your mood add in any combination of the following…1-2 Tbsp of minced cilantro, finely diced red onion, diced fresh tomato, finely diced jalapeño.
