Recipes: Guacamole

We all know that guacamole is a delicious dip for tortilla chips, or as a topping for your favorite Mexican dish. But, did you know that the main ingredient, avocadoes, are also a great source of potassium and the healthy fats that you need for proper nutrition? In addition to this, guacamole is best made with the avocadoes that are slightly overripe, often the ones marked down at the grocery store and it is simple to make. This recipe for homemade guacamole is much tastier and better textured than the ready-made containers.

3 ripe avocadoes
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
1 medium size tomato, finely chopped
1 large clove garlic, crushed
1/2 small onion, finely chopped

1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 lime, juiced

*Instructions
In a medium bowl, mash avocadoes. Add onion, jalapeno, tomato, garlic and cilantro. Mix well then add salt and lime juice. Cover and put in refrigerator for about an hour to allow flavors to blend. Enjoy!
