Guacamole

Guacamole is so easy to make, so good for you and adds an extra kick to any dish…remember to make extra and use throughout the week.
Course Appetizer, Side Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 3 avocados, pitted and roughly chopped …save the pit
  • 2-3 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2-3 tbsp cilantro, chopped
  • 3/4-1 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 3/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 serrano pepper, finely chopped …seeds removed

Instructions
 

  • Add all your ingredients.
  • Mix well.
  • Drizzle a little olive oil for extra richness.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate.

Notes

Hints:
To keep the guacamole from turning brown, put the avocado pits in the guacamole or if refrigerating, lay a piece of parchment paper over the guacamole and then cover with plastic wrap or dish cover.
Be careful when chopping the serrano pepper, wash hands thoroughly and avoid eye contact. I freeze my serranos, so when it’s time to use it, I cut off the size I need and finely chop the frozen pepper, seeds and all. This seems to avoid the possible pepper oil from getting into my eyes (especially if you wear contacts).
