Fresh Guacamole | Summer Favorite

Anyone who knows me or my family knows that we love good food. Fresh, home made, deliciousness. So I don’t know why its taken me this long to discover the awesomeness that is fresh guacamole! So easy, so tasty!

All you need is a fresh avocado

Tomatoes (best picked right from your own garden!):

A pinch of salt and a few drops of lemon juice. That’s it.

Peal the avocado – I just use a spoon to scoop it out of the skin.

Mash it up with a fork:

Cut up your tomatoes really small – that’s key –  small pieces! I’ve discovered that for one avocado it takes about 6 grape tomatoes or 1/2 of a regular tomato. You want more avocado in the mix than tomato, since guacamole is obviously about the texture and creaminess of the avocado, not the sweetness of tomatoes.

Mix in the pinch of salt and few drops of lemon juice and there you go. Guacamole!

 I’ve eaten it on chips, crackers, even plain cold pasta. Sooooo yummy!

In fact, I think I need to go eat it right now. mmmmmmm!
