Your “Go-To” Guacamole Recipe

Guacamole
Guacamole

There's nothing like a smooth, creamy guacamole. But I like mine slightly chunky so that it has some texture to it. Here's a great recipe that has all the flavor and some great health benefits.

Ingredients
3 Haas avocados, halved, seeded and peeled
2 limes, juiced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 medium onion, diced
1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 clove garlic, minced

Directions
In a large bowl place the scooped avocado pulp and lime juice, toss to coat. Drain, and reserve the lime juice, after all of the avocados have been coated. Using a potato masher add the salt, cumin, and cayenne and mash. Then, fold in the onions, jalapeno, tomatoes, cilantro, and garlic. Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved lime juice. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour and then serve.

You may want to finish off with a little lime zest on top.  Just to add a little zing 😉
