Guacamole the easy way…

I know this is a photography blog, but it seems like every time I make my guacamole, I get asked for the recipe.   So I decided to share it on my blog since I’m actually am a big cheater and make it in about 5 minutes, but I did include pictures, so that counts…right??  Here’s what you need;

2 Avocados

1 lemon wedge

1 clove of garlic or garlic powder

1 container of Italian Rose Salsa from Sam’s Club

While you are at Sam’s Club, so ahead and grab a bag of the “On the Border” tortilla chips to use when the guac is done! You can probably use any kind of thick salsa or pico de gayo, but this is the kind I use, and it works for me.  You don’t want to use salsa that has a lot of liquid, the thicker the better.   I also make sure my avocados are slightly smooshy, so when I press my thumb into it, it leaves an indent.   If they are hard, they aren’t ripe and your guacamole won’t be so good!

1. Cut your avocados in half and scoop out the inside with a spoon and place in a bowl.

2. Mash with a fork until you don’t see too many big chunks.

3. Add 2-3 heaping spoonfuls of your salsa.

4. Squeeze your lemon wedge into the mixture. (The lemon also prevents it from turning brown)

5. Add fresh garlic or a few shakes of powdered garlic. I’ve used both and they both work well.

Mix it all up  & Voila… Homemade Guacamole!  You can add more garlic and salsa even salt if you prefer.
