Guacamole Ingredients

2 avocados, peeled and seed pit removed
1/2 medium sized onion, diced
1/2 bunch Cilantro, diced (use about 1/2 cup)
Salt to taste (We use about 1/2 teaspoon)
Juice of 1 lime, use freshly squeezed juice (about 1/4 cup)

Directions

Break the avocado into pieces and place in a bowl. Dice the onion and cilantro. Add the onion and cilantro into the bowl with the avocado. Mash  the avocado, onion and cilantro mixture with a fork until it reaches the desired consistency.  Tip: You’ll want it to be a little lumpy, especially if you are using it as an avocado dip with nacho chips. Add the salt and lime juice. Stir until blended. You’ll want to serve  the guacamole dip quickly, as the avocado tends to turn a brown color, making it look unappetizing, although still safe to eat. Store the dip in the fridge, tightly covered.
