On the Menu: Easy Homemade Guacamole
Avocados are one of my favorite foods and guacamole is one of my favorite things to do with them.
When I first started making guacamole I was really careful to follow a recipe strictly. Now that I've been making it for so long I just kind of start throwing things in a bowl and hope for the best, which usually works for me.
I don't vary the ingredients too much, but sometimes if I don't have tomatoes on hand, I'll leave them out. If I think about it, which I didn't today, I'll throw in garlic. But three things are always a constant: avocados, cilantro and lime.
One thing that's really important to me is that my avacados aren't over-ripe. They suck. I usually buy them when they are a nice dark green, but not that blackish-greenish color, and firm to the touch. Then I use them in the next day or two. Cut them open and they are that nice bright green and taste so buttery.
I like my guacamole kind of chunky so I don't mash the avocados, just chop them into small pieces, but whatever floats your boat, it all ends up tasting good!
