• 3 avocados – peeled, pitted & mashed
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 3 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 plum tomatoes, diced
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• A pinch of cayenne pepper
• 1 to 3 chopped serrano chiles (optional)

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the avocados, lime juice and salt – mash well.
2. Add in the onion, cilantro, tomatoes, garlic and cayenne pepper.
3. Best to refrigerate for 1 hour, but can be served immediately.

 Avocado tips:

Use Hass avocados, the brown, wrinkly kind, for guacamole. They’re especially rich & creamy. Buy avocadoes that are slightly soft, but not squishy. Ripen in a paper bag with a banana or an apple at room temperature. Store ripe avocados in the fridge for 2 or 3 days.
