Guacamole

 

CINCO DE MAYO May 5^th   a celebration with great Mexican food; a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride. I like any celebration and I am always looking for new ideas for cooking.  So with only a couple ingredients you can make a quick and easy Guacamole.  This is makes enough for two and easily will double –triple as you need.

1 ripe avocado (diced if you like it chunky)

3 small tomatoes, seeded, diced

1 tablespoon onion diced

1/4 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped (I use parsley as I am not a fan of cilantro)

Jalapeño pepper, finely minced (as much heat as you like)

½ lemon juiced

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

A couple turns of ground pepper

Chop the tomatoes, onions, cilantro or parsley and peppers. Scoop out the avocado and chop for chunky style or mush for a creamier style.   

 

Mix all together and add salt, pepper and lemon. Stir lightly for chunky style and mush up well for creamy.

TIPS:

·        Invite friends over and make a big batch and serve on a nice corn chip

·        Add lime instead of lemon

·        Add some radish diced, garlic or a bit of mayonnaise
