Guacamole!!!

Guacamole! 

Considering my deep passionate love for avocados I can not believe that I have not yet made guacamole. I think that I just end up eating them straight from their shell and have not taken the 5 minutes to turn them into this amazing little side.

So easy and super addictive. Lets just get to the recipe..

Ingredients

3 ripe avocados

Juice of 1/2 lemon

3 cloves of garlic

2 TBS Salsa

2 TBS fresh minced cilantro

1 TBSP fresh minced mint

1 tsp cumin seeds

salt and pepper to taste

1. Just mix it all together! I Mashed 2 of the avocados and left one of them diced so I would have some nice chunks in there. 

2. Try not to eat the entire batch in one sitting.... at least share it!

3. Have fun with this recipe... next time I want to roast the garlic..... yum!
