Guacamole | a love of my life

I am pretty sure I could eat guacamole every single day. I never buy the stuff and it's basically down to a science when I'm planning to make it. here goes. 

You will need:

Three avocados (slightly soft, not mushy)

Minced garlic

Garlic salt (1-2tsp)

Dice onion (about 1/4-1/2 small)

Cilantro about 1/2 cup, cut up

1 lime

Diced Jalapeño (I scoop out seeds and dice tiny, only use half, but it depends how spicy you like each bite, to how big, how much and if you leave some seeds)

Diced tomato

Optional: favorite sour cream or plain Greek yogurt substitute 

1. Cut avocados in half, save pit, dice and scoop.

I use a knife to dice it in the skin, then scoop it into a bowl.

2. Mash with fork slightly (sometimes j mash the first 2 avocados and save the 3rd one until later to add bigger chunks

3. Add garlic salt, minced garlic, onion and yogurt or sour cream, if using. Stir.

4. Squeeze lime juice over the entire top, sometimes you only need half a lime.

5. Add cilantro, tomato, jalapeño and final avacado.  Stir gently.

6. Place one avacado pit in the guacamole.  Cover and refrigerate for about 1/2 hour before serving. Stir gently before serving

*You can refrigerate a few days. If some of the guacamole browns, you can just stir it in, or scoop it off. If it is really brown and liquody I scoop it off.  

*The tighter you seal/cover it the less browning will occur.

*you can omit tomatoes or jalapeño, however everything else is super important to the flavor and the color!
