ALWAYS FRESH GUACAMOLE

If you are not a fan of cilantro, just leave it out (but please put some chopped fresh on the side, for those that enjoy). Why cilantro? Cilantro (which are the leaves of the coriander plant) may actually have some antioxidant and detoxifying capabilities. If you love it, love it with much adoration :).

There are many recipes for guacamole out there, but simplicity seems best.

To make it even more simple: Mix the mashed avocados with your favorite salsa. Done.

INGREDIENTS
3 avocados, peeled, pitted and mashed
1 lime, squeezed, about 2 tablespoons
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup diced red onion
3 Tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 roma tomatoes, diced
pinch or two of cayenne pepper

PREPARATION
In a medium bowl, mix together the mashed avocados, lime juice, and salt. Mix in garlic, onion, cilantro and tomatoes. Stir in cayenne pepper. Refrigerate 1 hour tops, or serve immediately. Season to meet your tastebuds.

Serve with LOTS of cut fresh veggies (as mentioned above) and maybe a serving of baked tortilla chips.
