Fresh & Easy Guac!

New step in adulthood: Eating guacamole on St. Patrick's Day because it is green. And because I had ripe avocados. Mainly because I had ripe avocados. No beer was consumed because I had a Pediatric clinical the next morning at 7AM. 21 year old me is shocked and shamed.

So for a simple take on guac that is fresh and packed with flavor, try this recipe I concocted: 

Ingredients:

• 2-3 fresh avocados 
• 1/2 purple onion (chopped, raw)
• 1/2 bunch of cilantro (finely chopped) 
• the juice from 2 limes
• hot sauce (to taste)

Directions: 

• Chop up your fresh ingredients (the finer the better because it will release the flavors)
• Mash up your fresh avocado 
• Add hot sauce to kick it up a notch to your liking (or skip if you're more of a mild person)
• TIP: to help slow down the process of your guacamole browning as it is exposed to air, cover your guac with plastic wrap and keep the pit of your avocado in the guac--obviously don't eat it). 

Good luck with your guacamole! Its such a fun dish to eat in the warmer months and of course, goes great with a fresh margarita ;-) 

What do you like to eat your guac with!?
