HOLY GUACAMOLE!


Here we go, good ol' classic guacamole... I make this all the time whether it's for an appetizer, to munch on, to go on burgers, burritos, or sandwiches, or whatever else you can think of! It's an easy and tasty spread for all to enjoy! I like to keep it simple with ingredients you are likely to have around at any time, double it up for large groups because it goes fast!

Ingredients:
4 avocados
1 fresh lemon (approximately 1 TBSP)
1/2 tomato, diced
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder or 1 fresh clove, minced
3/4 tsp salt

Directions:
Peel and pit your ripe avocados (save one pit), put the avocadoes in a glass mixing bowl and mash them up with a fork, potato masher, or pastry masher (like the one in the picture). Add your lemon juice and seasonings and mix thoroughly with a fork or spatula. Add your tomato chunks and gently mix those in. Put one of the pits back in the dish to help if from turning brown so quickly. Cover and chill until serving or eat right away! (Don't make this dish too far in advanced because it will brown with time and heat).

*Always taste before serving and add a little of this, and a little of that to your likings!
