Guacamole

The first recipe for this blog is for a favorite dip of mine, an amazing guacamole that I learned how to make from a Mexican friend of mine.For a generous serving for 4-5 guests, you will need:

4 ripe avocados, mashed (we like ours chunky)
1 large tomato, diced in small cubes
1/2 of one medium white onion (preferably sweet), chopped
3-4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
5 stalks cilantro, chopped
2 tbs. lime juice
salt and cumin to taste

We mixed all ingredients together, and left the avocado pits in the bowl while chilling it in the fridge. This prevents it from browning. Remember to remove the pits before serving.

In our house, we served this with Harry and David's Cherry Salsa. You can taste the cherry halves, but the salsa is also very pleasantly spicy and has a great kick!

Enjoy.
