GUACAMOLE

One of my ultimate favourite snacks - homemade guacamole. Ok... so maybe it isn't exactly a snack, but it could be, right?! This is another option to take over to a party where there is a really good chance it'll be the only guac (and even if it isn't, it's probably the best one there). This guac recipe can also be used in various other meals as well.... spread onto taco shells, use on grilled cheese sandwiches, use as a pizza sauce, etc.  YUM. I LOVE GUACAMOLE. It really goes with almost anything :)

Guacamole

Ingredients:
  • 4 avocados, pitted and mashed
  • 2-3 roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 1/4 to 1/2 red onion, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
  • 1/8 to 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 to 1 tbsp lime juice
  • Epicure's Guacamole Dip mix
Note: add ingredients to taste. I prefer less cilantro and more onions and probably use close to the entire tbsp of lime juice, some prefer a ton of cilantro... taste and add, taste and add.

Directions:
  • Remove pit from avocados and mash
  • Add chopped tomatoes, jalapeno, onion, and cilantro. 
  • Add ~1-3 tsp of Epicure's Guacamole Dip mix, as per taste preference. Mix well
  • Squirt bowl with lime juice and give it one good stir.
  • Taste it. Depending on your preference, add more of above ingredients if you feel that it's not "quite" there
  • Serve immediately after making (before avocados start browning)
