Enjoy with your favourite dip, guacamole or a healthy salsa!
Guacamole
- 1/4 cup finely minced onion
- 3 avocados
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice or lemon juice
- 1 large tomato, chopped into small pieces
- 1/4 cup coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
- Optional: 1 to 2 teaspoons minced jalapeño or chilli pepper
Add diced onion to a small bowl
Cut avocados in half, lengthwise and remove the seed. I use a big knife and chop into the seed once, then twist the seed out. Super easy. Scoop out the flesh and add to the bowl of onions
Add a squeeze of lime juice then use a fork to mash until creamy, but still chunky. Stir in the tomato, coriander, cumin, salt and diced peppers (if using). Taste the guacamole and adjust with additional salt, peppers, or lime juice
Serve immediately with corn chips or cover with plastic wrap by pushing the plastic wrap down onto the guacamole and refrigerate up to one day
