Holy Guacamole, Batman!

We are of the belief that if you add avocado to pretty much anything, it will instantly become awesome. That being said one of our favorite snacks is chips and guacamole. It's so simple to make and it only takes five minutes!


The makings of the best dip to come out of a Mexican restaurant since queso.
Ingredients:
-1 ripe avocado (dark green and kinda squishy)
-1/4 of a lemon or lime's juice
-1/4 cup of your favorite chunky salsa
-salt, pepper, and garlic salt to taste
-fresh cilantro if available


To those out of the loop peeling an avocado can be a slippery, squishy mess. The best way to do it is to slice it longways and twist the halves apart. Then take the half with the pit in it and whack the pit with your knife (we would suggest you protect your hand with a kitchen towel) then twist to remove. Take a large spoon and scoop the meat out of the skin. Mash the avocado then add the juice, salsa, and seasonings to taste. If you don't have fresh cilantro don't add the dry version - it's just not tasty. Serve with your favorite chips and let the party begin!


The best thing an avocado can aspire to be.
Yes, we know that this guacamole kinda looks like baby food gone bad but don't be fooled! The addition of the salsa brings a subtle heat to the cool, fresh flavor of the avocado that we're sure you will absolutely love. This recipe serves four grazers or two hungry college students a snack chocked full of antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids!


So keep cooking, friends, and remember:


No kitchen, no problem!
