Ingredients
- 3 large ripe avocados pitted & scooped out (Save one pit for the guacamole for freshness)
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 large lime juiced
- 8 oz medium organic tomatoes diced
- 1 large garlic clove pressed or 1 tsp granulated garlic
- 1/4 cup red onion finely diced (submerged in water for 10 minutes, then drained)
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 small-medium jalapeno pepper seeded and finely diced
Instructions
- Once you’ve peeled and pitted the avocado, score each half with a spoon and then scoop out the avocado into a medium mixing bowl. (or a natural stone mortar and pestle)
- Add the salt and juice of half the lime to the bowl with avocado and smash up the avocado with a fork till fairly smooth with just some slight chunks (or to your liking)
- Then add the remaining ingredients and combine.
- Taste and adjust salt, pepper and add remaining lime juice if you like.
- Add the saved avocado pit to the bowl you're serving the guacamole in for added freshness
- Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hr. (When refrigerating to save, I place a piece of plastic wrap right up to the guacamole with as much air squeezed out as possible to keep it fresh and I also leave 1 avocado pit in it.)
