Guest Chef: Guacamole

I've decided to start a new segment entitled "Guest Chef."  Many of my friends are excellent in the kitchen as well, so periodically, we'll feature a recipe from one of them.  Today's recipe is for fresh, homemade guacamole! (Bear with these pictures, as they were taken with my iPhone and not originally intended for use in this blog)

Ingredients

2 avocados
1 tomato, diced (or you can cheat, and buy it already diced)
1/4 red onion, diced (or again, you can buy it already done for you...thank you, Publix)
Garlic salt
Cilantro
2 limes, juiced

1. Slice the avocado in half and take the pit out.  In a bowl, scoop out the flesh, and mash it with a fork.

 

2. Mix the tomatoes and the onions into the mashed avocado. 

3. Sprinkle the garlic salt and the cilantro into the mashed avocado, and blend well.  

 4. Slice the limes and squeeze the juice into the bowl.  Mix it well.

Hands in motion

 5. Let the guacamole sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to blend together. Serve with chips.  Yum!
