Ole Guacamole!

I snagged this recipe from Spa Magazine back in 2005 and it has been one of my favorites to serve as appetizers.  I love fresh avocado and this “homemade” Lake Austin Spa Guacamole recipe is one of the yummiest I’ve tasted and the perfect center piece for a get together.

2 medium size ripe avocados

1 large garlic clove, minced

1 tablespoon lime juice or fresh orange squeezed

¼ teaspoon salt

2 small Roma tomatoes, diced

2 tablespoons minced onion

1 tablespoon minced cilantro

½ small Serrano chili, seeded and minced (optional)

Cut the avocados in half, lengthwise. Remove the pits and scoop fruit out with a spoon into a large bowl.  Add the garlic, lime juice, and salt and mash together coarsely with a fork or potato masher.

Fold in the tomato, onion, and cilantro (and chili if using).

Serve at room temperature with corn chips.  Serves 4

Enjoy!
