Easy Guacamole
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 large avocado
- 2 tablespoons salsa
- 1 clove garlic, minced or mashed
- 1/2 lime
- 1/2 jalapeno,cut in a small dice
- salt to taste
- Additional Hot Sauce [optional]
Instructions
- Open the avocado and remove the pit. [see the post for an explanation of how to do this]
- Scoop the flesh of the avocado into a flat, medium-sized bowl. Use a fork to mash it to the consistency that you like.
- Add all of the remaining ingredients, except the hot sauce and mix well.
- Taste and see if you think it could use more heat, and add your favorite hot sauce if you like.
- You can dig in right away, or let it chill for a while to allow the flavors to blend. If refrigerating, take a piece of plastic wrap and press it gently on the surface of the guacamole to prevent it from darkening.
Notes
Leftovers will keep for about a day, so long as you cover them with plastic wrap, pressed on the surface of the guacamole.
