SERVINGS: 6


Ingredients :
• 8 medium to large avocados
• 1 fresh lime juiced
• 2 bunches of cilantro chopped and stems cut off
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp kosher salt
• 1 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 c salsa (homemade is best - recipe here)

Instructions : 

• Add everything to a large mixing bowl and mash with either a fork, meat masher or pastry cutter.
• Leave a couple seeds in the guacamole if not serving immediately and directly cover the guacamole with saran wrap and push out all air and place in refrigerator if not serving immediately.


Notes :

The recipe calls for 8 medium to large avocados. Don’t buy the real small avocados that come in a mesh bag. Those are too small and you run the risk of getting a bad avocado. Go for the medium to large, and if you get real big ones you can back off to 6-7 avocados.


I recommend serving this guacamole right away but if you need to store it, be sure to leave a few of the seeds in the bowl. Cover the top of the guacamole surface with saran wrap and then cover the bowl in saran wrap and place in the refrigerator. Like pesto, air is the enemy of guacamole. Even with these measures, you don’t want to make this more than a couple hours before serving. 

When choosing an avocado look for dark skin and when you apply the slightest amount of pressure, it gives. But you don’t want it to be mushy. Definitely don’t buy any hard avocado. If you end up getting a bad avocado, try using what you can and throwing out any black spots. The guacamole is simply seasoned with kosher salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Lots of fresh cilantro and lime juice go in along with a shortcut ingredient of salsa. I highly recommend making my homemade salsa first and adding a cup of it to this recipe.
