Guacamole


Ingredients

  • 6 avocados
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice (1 lemon)
  • 1/2 cup small-diced red onion
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 small cherry tomatoes (cut into fourths) or one med tomato
  • 8 dashes Tabasco hot sauce (optional)

  • Directions
Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. With a sharp knife cut the inside of the avocados in the shell into large chunks and scoop the inside out with spoon. Put the inside of the avocado only it into a large bowl and immediately add the lemon juice,onion, garlic, salt, and pepper (add hot sauce if desired) and toss carefully. Add the tomatoes carefully. Mix well and taste for salt and pepper.

I do not recommend this for a dip but for a garnish to a meal. That is if you can only eat 1/2 a cup. It is so yummy one might eat more than their serving share.
