GUACAMOLE

Ingredients:

3-4 ripe avocados
1-2 minced garlic cloves
1/4 c. lemon juice
2 tbsp. minced chives
1 small tomato – cubed
salt to taste
salsa

Preparation:

- Find the ripest avocados you can – they should be soft when squeezed gently, with dark-green skin. Avoid brown avocados, which are too ripe.
- Cut each avocado in half, working around the large, smooth pit.
- Separate the avocado halves and remove the pit.
- Scoop the avocado flesh out of the skins.
- Use a fork to mash the avocados until smooth-some chunks are OK. Use a food processor for large amounts of avocado if you like, but avoid overprocessing.
- Add minced fresh garlic, lemon juice, chives and cubed tomato. Add salt and salsa to taste, if desired.
