The trick to good guacamole is the avocado. The better the avocado, the better the guacamole. You want to use a ripe avocado. Ripeness is determined by lightly squeezing the avocado. If it’s hard it’s not ripe. If it’s too soft, it’s over-ripe. In between these two is a perfect avocado. You want it to feel soft but still have a slight firmness.

Slice the avocado in half. With a table spoon, scoop out the seed and set aside. Scoop out the avocado and put in a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork or potato masher. Add a squeeze of lemon or lime and a few pinches of salt. I use kosher salt or sea salt.

Mix well. Taste it. If it needs more salt add a little at a time until you get it right to taste. If your guacamole is going to sit for a while, put the seed in the center of it and it will help keep it from turning brown. The combination of lemon/lime juice and the seed help keep the guacamole green.

This is a basic guacamole recipe. You can spice up your guacamole by adding any of these combinations: garlic, diced tomatoes, diced onions, salsa or fresh chopped cilantro.

Muy Delicioso!

Ingredients

* 4 ripe avocados
* 3 limes, juiced
* 1/2 red onion, chopped
* 1 garlic clove, minced
* 2 serrano chiles, sliced thinly
* 1 big handful fresh cilantro, finely chopped
* Extra-virgin olive oil
* Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Halve and pit the avocados. Scoop out the flesh with a tablespoon into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocados with a fork, leaving them somewhat chunky. Add the remaining ingredients, and fold everything together to gently mix. Lay a piece of plastic wrap right on the surface of the guacamole so it doesn't brown and refrigerate 1 hour before serving.

A lot of guacamole recipes have cilantro in them, but I'm one of the people who can't stand the taste of cilantro, so here's the recipe I use instead. It's very easy.

Ingredients:
3 avocados
The juice of one lime
1/2 c. medium salsa
pinch of salt
pinch of garlic powder
1 or 2 green onions

Just mash everything all together and top with green onions. The salsa gives it plenty of flavor.
