Nothing says
summer to me quite like guacamole. A creamy savory dip of avocados and lime, it’s
amazing with corn chips or added to a salad or sandwich. There a lot of recipes
for guacamole out there that add everything from tomatoes and onions, to mango
and cilantro, but for a veggie as tasty and unique as the almighty avocado, I
find the simplest preparation works the best.
This recipe has
exactly 3 ingredients: Avocados,
lime, and garlic. That’s it, that’s all. I don’t even use salt because the lime
provides all the tang this needs.
It may seem
overly simple, but trust me on this one and you’ll never make guacamole the
same way again!
Here’s How You Do It
Difficulty
Level: Easy
Prep
time: 5 Minutes
Makes
2 Cups of Guacamole
Ingredients
2 Ripe Avocados – Avocados are usually sold under-ripe. Buy
them and keep them on your counter. They should ripen in a couple of days. To
check for ripeness, give them a gentle squeeze. If there’s some give and the
avocado has darkened, you’re good to go.
Juice of 1 or
2 Limes – Limes can vary in size, so if they’re on the small side, use 2 not 1.
1 Clove of
Garlic, peeled and finely minced
Equipment
1 Knife and
Cutting Board
1 Bowl
1 Spoon
Squeeze the lime juice into the bowl, making sure to get every last bit.
Take the peel and pits out and off of the avocados and throw the bright
green flesh into the bowl.
Add the garlic and stir everything together with a spoon to combine. If
you like your guacamole on the mushier side, use the back of your spoon to mash
the avocados to your liking.
Serve and enjoy!
