How to Make Guacamole

Guacamole is a popular dip that originated in Mexico. The main ingredient of this dish is avocados, which scientific research has shown provide an array of health benefits, because they contain numerous vitamins and oleic acid, which has been credited with reducing  inflammation and improving cardiovascular health. So get your dose of avocados in by making this delicious snack in the well-appointed kitchen of your PepperTree apartment home.

• Ingredients:

• 2 avocados

• ½ small onion, finely chopped

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1 medium tomato, chopped

• Juice of 1 lime

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Directions:

• Remove the skins and mash the avocados in a medium bowl

• Stir in garlic, onion, and tomato

• Season with lime juice, salt, and pepper

• Let chill for one hour to allow the flavors to blend

• Serve with your favorite tortilla chips

Another great thing about guacamole is that it is highly customizable. For example, if you do not like tomato or onion, those ingredients can easily be omitted. If you like spicy foods, you can add a diced jalapeno or chili pepper to the mixture. Some people also like to serve salsa alongside the guacamole, and dip their chips in both. The possibilities are virtually endless!
