Guacamole
I read a few years ago that the amount of guacamole eaten on Superbowl Sunday covers a football field to a depth of 5 feet! This recipe is a hit with my family and friends; even my toddler loves it.
Ingredients
- 4 ripe avocados, mashed
- 2 Tbsp. lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup chopped red onion
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
- salt to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mash avocados.
- Add lime remaining ingredients and mix until blended.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
If you have leftover guacamole to store, take these steps to make sure it doesn’t turn brown. First, store guacamole in an opaque container to block it from light. Second, place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole before putting the lid on the container. If you don’t have an opaque container, wrap the entire container in aluminum foil to block light.
