Candace's Guacamole

Guacamole is one of those dishes that tastes delicious, is simple to make, but there are so many recipes out there it is hard to figure out which one is worth making. Quite often people only make it when company is coming or as a dip with a corn chip, but guacamole is an ideal way to get in healthy fats and Compliments the flavour on so many other foods.

I put guacamole on toast, in sandwiches, I even use it to dip veggies in. Below is a super simple recipe that I always get lots of compliments on. I have tried several that involved cilantro and/or onions, this one has neither, making it super fast and favorable to more people. See how to cut an avacado here.

Candace's Guacamole
  • 2 avocados, inside scooped out and mashed, reserve one pit
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • salt and pepper
  • few drops of Tabasco (optional)
* Combine all the ingredients and stir. Since lemons and garlic can very greatly in size you may need to add more of one or both to suit your taste, but the above measurements are fairly accurate for medium sized ingredients.
* If not serving immediately put the pit in the guacamole. This will help it from turning brown. Keep in mind it isn't bad when it turns brown. It is just oxidizing like an apple would do. It just isn't as appealing visually, for what ever reason the pit helps with this.

Enjoy!
