How to Make Yummy Guacamole

Guacamole dip is a great appetizer to serve at home and is super easy to make. Just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes in the kitchen, then voila! Yummy guacamole dip.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 avocados, peeled with seed removed
• 1/2 onion minced
• 1 lime
• 1/2 clove garlic minced
• 1 jalapeno (small)
• 1/4 cup cilantro minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper

1. In a big kitchen bowl, add your avocados that have been peeled and the seeds removed. You can scoop out the avocado pulp with a large spoon. A nice ripe avocado will make the best guacomole.

2. Add your minced onion. I like to use a regular white onion and mince it nice and small. You don't want big chunks of onion in your dip.

3. Add the minced garlic clove.

4. Add the minced jalapeno to the dip.

5. Add minced cilantro.

6. Take your lime and squeeze the juice into the dip. Using fresh lime juice really brings a kick to the guacamole.

7. Add about a teaspoon of salt and pepper. Drizzle mixture with olive oil.

8. Take a potato masher and mix up the guacamole. Now you're ready to serve!

Tips & Warnings

• Use a chile pepper or a poblano pepper to add more zip!
• Make sure to mince the onions and garlic to make sure there are no big chunks.
• Serve your guacamole with corn chips for dipping!

on 9/10/2009 You can definitely remove the jalapeno seeds - at is where most of the heat comes from. However, if you have spicier tastes...leave them in!
