GUACAMOLE - REAL AUTHENTIC MEXICAN "GUAC"
I am surprised how difficult it is to find a genuine guacamole recipe. No need for mayo or sour cream or all the other additives. This is the original, handed down generations, yet the most simple basic way to make Guacamole. I even make it better than my Mother in Law, which is a hard act to follow. :) Make this recipe and you will never go back. Hope you enjoy this like all my friends and family do.

Steps:
- Slice avocados in half. Discard the seed. Scoop out of shell with a spoon. Place in bowl.

- Add juice of second lime and then salt to taste. Stir just slightly, until incorporated.

AWARD WINNING GUACAMOLE
This recipe comes from The Best of Mexico cookbook. It won first place at my work site last year during our annual Cinco Day Mayo salsa and guacamole competition. Wear gloves when you chop the Serrano chilies. There is not a lot of lime juice in this recipe so prepare it as close to serving time as possible to avoid browning.

Tips:
- Use ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are creamier and have a richer flavor. Look for avocados that are dark green and slightly soft when you press them gently.
- Add salt to taste: Guacamole can be bland if it's not seasoned properly. Add salt to taste, starting with a small amount and increasing it as needed.
- Use fresh lime juice: Fresh lime juice adds a bright, acidic flavor to guacamole. Avoid using bottled lime juice, as it doesn't have the same flavor.
- Don't overmix: Guacamole should be chunky, not smooth. Overmixing will make it lose its texture.
- Serve immediately: Guacamole is best when it's fresh. Serve it immediately after making it, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
Guacamole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's perfect for parties, potlucks, or as a snack. With these tips, you can make the perfect guacamole every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give guacamole a try. You won't be disappointed!
