Guacamole

Just a quick post today, the internet in my house has unfortunately gone out so I’m trying to quickly get all my internet use done in the library before I have to walk home in the dark! I love having guacamole any time of year but its especially nice for summer, hopefully we can get some more use out of the tomatoes in the community garden!

Ingredients

            2 avocados

1/4 large sweet onion or a whole small onion, chopped (Vidalia)

1/2 garlic clove (minced)

1 or 2 splashes hot sauce

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

fresh ground pepper

1/4  teaspoon agave nectar

1/2 bunch cilantro (washed and chopped)

1 large tomato (chopped)

1/2 teaspoon lime juice

½ red pepper  (chopped)

green onions (chopped)

*You can leave out the tomatoes, peppers, and green onions to simplify if desired

Preparation

1.     Prepare the salsa mixture (onions, garlic, hot sauce, salt, pepper, agave nectar, cilantro, tomato, lime juice, red pepper, and green onions)

2.     Essentially this is very similar to the previous fresh salsa recipe, start by peeling and dicing the avocados, then mash them (a fork works well) in a bowl

3.     Add in several tablespoons of the salsa and mix thoroughly

4.     Adding extra citrus (lemon or lime) juice can help it from going gray if you have leftovers, if there is extra salsa, it can be served with corn chips alongside the guacamole
