Guacamole is a great appetizer to bring to a get together with friends or simply a quick snack in between classes in the dorm. There are several renditions of guacamole but I will share one of my ultimate favorites! – feel free to give or take a little on the ingredients so the guac is to your liking.

Guacamole

Ingredients:

4 ripe avocados
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (1 lemon)
8 dashes hot pepper sauce
1/2 cup small-diced red onion (1 small onion)
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 medium tomato, seeded, and small-diced

Directions:

Cut the avocados in 1/2, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh out of their shells into a large bowl. (I use my hands.) Immediately add the lemon juice, hot pepper sauce, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper and toss well. Using a sharp knife, slice through the avocados in the bowl until they are finely diced. Add the tomatoes. Mix well and taste for salt and pepper.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Yields: 3 cups

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator- Although I doubt there will be any!

Purchase a bag of tortilla chips or cut up some pitas and you are set! Enjoy!
