Holy Guacamole!

Hey Guys!

Last night I was having a friend over for a drink and a catch up session and I wanted to make us something fresh to snack on but I wanted to keep it on the lighter and healthier side so I ran out to the store and picked up some fresh ingredients to make...dun, dun, dun....Guacamole!

Personally, I'm pretty particular about my Guac. I hate it when its too smooth and creamy and I am NOT a fan of cilantro.  I like it chunky but not too chunky. I'm going to give you a run down on how I make my Guac and I'm also going to recommend you try it because it's obviously the best guac ever!

Here's what you'll need for like 2-4 people (depending on how much you're looking to pig out)

• 2 Avocados (make sure they are ripe)
• 1 Lime
• 1 Plum Tomato
• Half of a Large Red Onion
• 1 Clove of Garlic, minced
• 1 Jalapeño (half if you want to cut down the spiiiiiice)
• Salt and Pepper to taste

First I half my avocados and remove the skin and pit.  I cube them a bit on the larger side and toss them into a medium sized bowl.  While those are sitting I use the juice of one half of a lime to prevent the avocado from browning (this is important people). I then cut the ends of of my tomato, remove the seeds and wash the seeds out.  Dice your tomato and toss it in to the avocado/lime bowl. Cut half of a red onion (use the whole thing if you want) and dice, toss it in your bowl.  Mince once clove of garlic and add salt and pepper. 

Jalapeños are pretty easy to work with- just be careful to not touch your face.  Slice it in half long was and deseed your pepper- I then like to rinse mine after, dice your pepper very, very finely and add it to your bowl.

At this point you're ready to smash this wonderful bowl of deliciousness.  Fold all your ingredients over and use a fork/spoon.  If you have one I use a potato masher.  I usually smash mine about 4 times so it's smooth but not too fine and there are nice large pieces of avocado.  Once you're done serve with your favorite chips! (I prefer the Tostido Whole Wheat Scoops)
