Gusty Guacamole


Avocados can be grown from the pit!

This Guacamole demands to be tasted! This is a bold but not too spicy recipe we have been making for years!

There are many reasons to eat avocados other than the fact they taste great, are high in fiber, and packed with phytonutrients!


The Ripeness of your Avocados makes all the difference in this dip. The Skin of the Avocado should be almost black, with a dark green undertone. Pulling out the stem can also be a great indicator of freshness.


Serves Many.

Vegetarian? YES
  Ingredients
  • 3 Cloves of Garlic - minced
  • 2 Large Ripe Avocados
  • 1 Large Lime
  • Generous handful of Cilantro (coriander) - Finely Chopped
  • Franks Redhot
  • Black Pepper
  • English Cucumber
Optional Ingredients
  • 1/2 a Tomato
  • 1/2 Onion

Prep
Into a Large Bowl:

  1. Cut and scoop out the flesh of the avocado.
  2. Roll the Lime and Cut in half. Squeeze the juice of both halves into the bowl.
  3. Add Garlic, Cilantro, and Pepper.
  4. Fold all ingredients in, and add 5-6 dashes of Franks Redhot. ***You can add 5-6 more if you want it really spicy*** 
  5. If desired; Dice tomatoes and onions and add to bowl.
  6. Slice Cucumber into medium slices.
Serve
Drop a tsp full of guacamole onto the cucumber slices and serve immediately.

Storage:
Guacamole can be stored in the fridge for a few days after it has been made. Just make sure you cover the container, and press the clingwrap onto the top of the guacamole or it will become discoloured from exposure to the air.




~ENJOY!
