Simple Guacamole














There are a ton of guacamole recipes out there. I prefer mine because it uses 5 ingredients (3 of which are spices), takes less than 5 minutes to prepare, and tastes exactly how I feel guacamole should...simple. As a side, this recipe will easily serve 2-4, depending on your definition of "Medium". In case you were wondering, the avocado is actually a berry.

Simple Guacamole

2 Medium Avocados
1 Medium Roma Tomato (Diced)
2 tsp Garlic Powder
2 tsp Fresh Ground Pepper
1 tsp Salt

1. Mash avocados in a bowl with a fork.
2. Mix in tomatoes and dry spices.
3. Plate, grab a chip, pita, or spoon and enjoy!

Some people like to add more salt, but most of the chips I buy are already salted. You have to be careful or the combination of the two will be way too much. It's always easier to add more spices later than to take them out. You can add some citrus juice (lime, lemon, orange, etc.) to preserve the guacamole for any extended period of time. The avocados will start to darken after being out of their skin immediately (just like apples). Like most things, guacamole is best served fresh.
