Simple Guacamole

Simple Guacamole

My tip for guacamole? You need some good avocados! I only get from two places. Stew Leonard’s OR Costco. Because they are always consistently good! I buy my avocados un-ripened and then i put them in a large bowl and place some ripe bananas on top. In a few days i have perfectly ripe avocado! Put them in the fridge they should last over a week!

Serves 4 people

Ingredients:

2 large ripe avocado

2 tsp lime juice

salt and pepper

1/4c of chopped fresh cilantro

1/4 small red onion chopped fine (you could sub this for two scallion stalks which i love as well)

DIrections

Mash the ingredients together with a muddler. If you don’t have one you can use a fork but i love this little wooden muddler i have it really breaks it all up, esp fresh herbs like cilantro!

Serve!

Beets make a fantastic addition to any salad! They’re a great source of folate and fiber per cup…which means you can feel like popeye AND have great digestive health all day…pretty awesome.* This recipe is great if you have all of these things on hand.
