Now that the weather is finally getting warmer, light, quick and easy meals are popular at my house. With spring here and summer just around the bend my local grocery store always has great deals on avocados.
Below I've listed a great guacamole recipe. It's very quick and easy to make.
Ingredients;
2 tbs fresh lime juice
2 medium ripe avocado
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp of salt
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
Black pepper and Cayenne pepper to taste
small amounts of: peeled, seeded and chopped finely cucumber, diced tomatoes and black olives.
Place lime juice in a bowl. Add avocado (cut it open and scoop it out of it's skin), and mash it with a fork. stir in the remaining ingredients. Cover and chill for two hours. Once chilled serve with your favorite salsa and tortilla chips.
I love the taste of avocados and eat them often, mostly in winter. My favorite recipe is a spoonful of shrimp salad in the hollowed halves.
ReplyDeleteYour guacamole recipe sounds delicious and easy to do. I will try it.
Hello Eva, You'll love it, cause of the extra things added to it. I'm going to the store today. I hope the alvocados are on sale so I can make some of this when I get home. This also tastes good spread on a vegetarian sandwich. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteNow that's what I'm talking about! I love guacamole and cumin and lime are my favorite ingredients. You have to be careful with the cumin though, or it will take over. he he.
ReplyDeleteHello Oswegan, I'm very happy you like this post. Your right about cumin. Very soon I'll be posting a delicious homemade refried bean recipe. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHey you! I'm trying this tomorrow. I just bought a bunch of avocados today and your recipe sounds wonderful. And yes, I agree guacamole on a sandwich is insane! :)
ReplyDeleteGuess what I also grabbed at the market today? 3 mangos for 99 cents. It's mango season!!! We love mangos and can't seem to eat enough when they're plentiful.
Always wonderful to see your beautiful, smiling face. I love this blog! Oh, you'd be perfect, I just thought about something that might interests you. I have a dear friend Cielo, at House In The Roses and she's having a dessert carnival. You can either check it out on her blog (find her on my blog roll) or go to the "Cafe" and I've posted about it there. I expect you to make something absolutely beautiful and delicious!
Talk to you soon. Have a wonderful day.

Lydia, I love, love, love Guacamole! I make it all the time and it's very well received. Avocadoes are fun to work with and delicious to eat. I have a ripe one in the house right now and thanks to you, I'm going to make some "guac" tomorrow.
