* garlic n' cilantro guacamole *

i love guacamole. so easy to make and delicious with any mexican meal or just as a dip for tortilla chips, crackers....or even veggies. i have also made guacamole dressing for salads by blending the ingredients in a blender & adding a little extra lime juice or some yogurt which would actually taste great with the cucumber fiesta salad below. if you have a little extra time to spare try making it using caramelized onions & a whole head of roasted garlic instead of raw. yummy.

3 large ripe avocados
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
juice of 1 lime
1 medium tomato, seeded & diced
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 cloves garlic

yields 2 cups

mash the avocado in a small mixing bowl 'til smooth if you like smooth guacamole or leave a few lumps. add the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine.

manje!
