Celebratory Party Dip.


This is a simple recipe for guacamole, it is really more of a guide than a recipe but the proportions are approximately correct.  The opportunities for guacamole are endless... enjoy.

Josh's Guacamole

2 avocados

1 clove minced or pressed garlic (or one half onion, or some of both)

1/2 tomato (diced)

Juice of one lime

Salt to taste

1-2 tablespoons Cilantro (optional)

Jalapeno or other hot pepper to taste (optional)



1.  Cut avocados and remove flesh from pit into bowl.

2.  Mince (very finely chop) or press the garlic with a garlic press.  Add to avocado and mix/mash the garlic into the avocado.  

3.  To release the juices of the lime, roll the lime on the table firmly under your palm.  

Halve and squeeze the lime (no special machinery needed here just a strong hand or fork) into the slightly mashed avocado.  Pick out any seeds, and mix/mash further.

4.  Dice your tomato so that you have about 1/4 inch cubes and mix into guacamole.  

5.  Salt to taste, and add about 1 or two tablespoons of cilantro if you feel.  Also if you feel that your guacamole is perhaps a bit too tame, add some seeded and finely choped jalapeno (seranos, habaneros, and any other hot pepper could be use as well)
