Home-Made Guacamole

A fresh and zesty side that goes with just about anything!

Ingredients

• 2 ripe avocados
• A pinch of sea salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon or lime juice
• ½ to 1 ripe tomato, seeds and pulp removed, diced
• 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh coriander
• 1 teaspoon of garlic, minced
• 1 to 2 red chillies, diced (optional)
• ½ cup of red onion, diced (optional)
• To serve: carrot, celery, capsicum sticks or other crudités

Method

• Halve avocadoes and remove the seeds.
• Scoop avocado flesh from the skin using a spoon and place into a bowl.
• Using a fork, roughly mash the avocado flesh leaving a few chunks for texture.
• Sprinkle with salt, pepper and add the lemon/lime juice, which prevents the avocado from turning brown.
• Add chopped tomato, coriander, garlic, chillies and onion (if using), and mix well.
• Cover and refrigerate to allow flavours to blend until ready to serve.
• Serve with a selection of crudités.
