Guacamole

We eat a lot of avocados

I usually buy 10-12 at a time

{What do we do with them?}

spread it on veggie sandwiches

top burritos, tacos & haystacks

forget the cheese and garnish your soup with avocado

add it to your salad

eat it plain like the girls

or the obvious....

Guacamole

{Ingredients}

2 perfectly ripe avocados

2 lemons

3 cloves of garlic {minced}

green onions or chives

real salt to taste

mix it all up and you get this super delicious, super nutritious green goodness...

{a few tips:}

After you cut the avocado in half, whack a knife into the pit and twist... it will pop right out

You can either checkerboard slice the avocado in the skin or use a spoon to take the whole half out and then slice.

avocados are ripe when they give slightly when you press gently. If they are hard, they aren't ready. If they smoosh when you press they are over-ripe.

When buying buy avocados that have a long neck... this indicates they were on the tree longer.

Unless you plan on using them within 2 days buy avocados that are firm.

We put ours on the window ledge until they are almost ripe and then I place them in the fridge.

Now go eat your avocados! {grin}
