Here is a favorite recipe in our house.  This is a great recipe for the upcoming picnic weekend!  It’s quick, easy and quite delicious!

Guacamole

2 plum tomatoes

2 ripe avocados

2 Tbsp. minced red onion

3 Tbsp. fresh lime juice (2 limes)

3 cloves garlic

Kosher salt

Small amount of salsa

Cilantro, to taste

Hot sauce (optional)

Quarter your tomatoes, discarding the seeds and chop. Halve and pit avocados.  Scoop avocado into a bowl and mash.  I like to use a wooden bowl.  Stir in remaining ingredients.

Be sure to give yourself enough time to mix up the guacamole and let it sit so that the flavors can blend together for an hour or so before serving.

A useful tip — save the pit and once you have the guacamole blended, place the pit on top of the guacamole.  This will keep the guacamole from browning!  Just remember to take it out before serving.

Makes 2 cups.

Grab a bag of your favorite tortilla chips (ours are Tostito’s Lime Chips) and enjoy!

Happy Memorial Day weekend!
