Guacamole is one of my favorite snacks in the world. It’s healthy – full of great fats and tons of health benefits. It’s versatile – snack on it with some chips or use it as a topping for nearly any dish (eggs, toast, sandwich, burger, etc), and it is DELICIOUS as a party appetizer. There has never been a time I served it and didn’t get asked for the recipe.
For the record, I never shared the recipe… until now…
That said, for this top-secret recipe, you will need :
- 1 large avocado
- 1/2 small, red onion
- 1/2 lime
- 1/2 tomato de-seeded
- 4 Thai chilies or 1-2 jalapenos (depending on how spicy you like it!)
- cilantro (handful)
- sea salt (key words: SEA salt)
- 1 garlic clove
Method:
- Chop the garlic and chilies in really fine pieces, The finer the better. Most recipes would tell you to de-seed your peppers, but not I. That’s where the kick comes in
- Chop your onion, in fine cubes. Wear your goggles if you need to
- Chop the tomato. Its important to remove the seeds so the guac isn’t too runny
- Add the avocado. Here’s a cool trick on how to cut it like a pro
- Add the sea salt. I normally add around 1 tbsp, but taste test it as always
- Add in the lime juice and chopped cilantro last
- Stir! If you have a mortar & pestle, that’s even better
- Enjoy!!
