Less is more Guac

last night i went out for mexican and of course i ordered extra guac with everything. i must share my favorite and best guacamole recipe with you. i heart guac because everyone has their own take on it and i think it is really fun to try new things. I started out adding just about everything but the kitchen sink and have gradually began adding less and less. my friends in cali will tell me that im dead wrong in my approach and that they are the only ones who know how to make guac. well, to them i must say - the challenge is on.

without further ado here is my Less is more Guac:

2 hass avacados - not to soft bc you still want it to be chunky after you smash the ingredients.
splash of lime juice
1 jalapeno
1 small clove of garlic
1/4 of a red onion


first - if you have a small food processor this could not get any easier. drop all ingredients, except the avacados, into the food processor and chop.

if you do not have a food processor ask for one for your birthday. they really do change your life. you can find a small one by Cuisinart that takes up no counter space and is small enough to store in a cabinet.

i also heard that if you run an onion under warm water it doesn't make your eyes water when you chop it. so try that if you haven't bought that food processor yet and must chop up your ingredients try that and let me know how it goes.

for the avacados, i like to pit them, section each half and spoon them into the serving bowl. that just makes it easier to blend all the ingredients with out totally mashing the avacados.

add the other ingredients and mix well but avoid smushing the avacados. serve with whatever you want and enjoy!

ps i realize i could have put a picture of guacamole but i am so excited that my husband is taking me to the Pearl Jam show in june i can think of nothing other than that right now....
