Guacamole
Yield: ~6 servings

- Juice of ½ lime (or 1 lime, as desired)
- ½ medium red or white sweet onion, finely chopped
- 4 medium ripe avocados pitted
- 2 garlic cloves pressed or minced (or garlic powder to taste)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ medium red or white sweet onion, chopped
- ½ cup fresh cilantro, mostly leaves, chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
Method:
- Mix the finely chopped onion with the lime juice to marinate while you prepare the other ingredients. This helps to cut the onion’s sharp flavor.

- Add the onion, chopped cilantro and jalapeño to the bowl and mix well. Taste for seasoning and adjust as desired.
- To serve, transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl. with some additional chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
