Guacamole

Fresh ingredients always make for delicious guacamole. Had you notice that guacamole carries the three colors of the Mexican flag?
Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: Mexican
Servings: 6 people

Ingredients

  • 4 ripe avocados
  • 1 tomato
  • 1/4 yellow onion
  • 1 or 2 limes
  • 1 cup cilantro
  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Wash the tomato and cilantro, and chop them.
  • Chop the onion.
  • Cut the lime in two.
  • With the same knife, split the avocados in half, leaving the pit in there. Remove the pit, and scoop the flesh of the avocado with a spoon to a bowl. Reserve one of the pits.
  • Mash the avocados with a fork, mixing them with the salt and olive oil.
  • Mix in the cilantro, onion and tomato.
  • Squeeze the lime over the guacamole, and mix thoroughly.
  • Put the pit you reserved in the guacamole. Rumor has it that it prevents it from turning brown. I have no scientific proof of that, but since it doesn't hurt, and it adds the hippie touch, I keep doing it.
