Recipe: Guacamole

Guaca---mole mole mole! Every time I say guacamole I think of Austin Powers. Any who back on track, guacamole! Avocados are vegan's "meat" we need that healthy fat! Avocados contribute nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and beneficial plant compounds. Guacamole is super easy to make too! Most people probably don't even realize how simple it actually is,  or how to make it. I will always opt for making homemade guac over store bought any day! When selecting avocados for this recipe make sure you get some that are slightly soft when squeezing them. When selecting avocados don't pick the ones that feel like a stone that wont taste so swell. If you do happen to select the stone avocados you can however speed up the ripening process by placing it in a brown paper bag with an apple.

Ingridents:

2 avocados

1/2 a lemon juiced

1/8 cup finely chopped red onion

1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro

salt to taste
serrano chilies to your taste (optional if you would like some spice in your life :)

Start by combining the avocados and lemon juice in a bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the avocado to create a creamy texture. Next add in all the remaining ingredients,and stir everything together.

Enjoy!
