Guacamole is NOT a
Salad!
Ripe Avocados, seeded, peeled and mashed with fork or mixed
with electric mixer.
A few drops of fresh lime or lemon juice (dip should not
taste like lime or lemon!).
Dash of salt. Save the onion and tomatoes for the Pica de
Gallo.
Guacamole Dip
Storing Cut
Avocados and Guacamole:
Leave the seed in the cut avocado and press tin foil on cut
part. Wrap the tin foil tightly around the avocado and store in refrigerator. When
ready to use, slice off small brown portion. If not using all, repeat the tin
foil sealing process. To store guacamole dip, put in taller jar or air tight
container so less guacamole turns brown. Press tin foil over the top of the
guacamole and store in refrigerator. When ready to use, carefully remove brown
portion of guacamole and serve.

burn real fast! You may also cook these on an outside grill.
