Guacamole

Guacamole is such a fresh and delicious side dish or topping for a variety of Mexican dishes, such as tacos, fajitas, or even just a batch of tortilla chips! Fortunately, this dish is incredibly flavorful and so easy to assemble. There is no heat involved either!

You will need:
- 1-2 avocados  
- juice from ½ a lime  
- pinch of sea salt
- 1/8 cup diced red onion  
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes  
- chopped cilantro to taste

To prepare your avocado, slice the avocado in half and scoop out the flesh. For this guacamole, place the avocados, the lime juice, and salt into a bowl and mash together with a fork. After the consistency has become more uniform, add in the diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, and cilantro. Mix well and serve. Feel free to add any additional ingredients that you enjoy.

Variation:
If you want to increase the volume of your guacamole and add additional veggies, you can blend peas with the other ingredients to achieve a similar flavor and texture. This is also a way to reduce the fat of the dish, although the fats in avocados are healthy fats.
