Super Amazing Fresh Guacamole

I got a great deal on some avocados at the store today, so I was super excited to make some fresh guacamole for my family.  It got rave reviews from my family:

“super delicious”

“amazing”

“yummy”

Yep, I think we’ve got a winner here!  Enjoy

 3-6 small avocados diced

Dash of lemon or lime juice

¼ cup of diced onions (I don’t really measure much, but I think it was about this much)

4 cloves of garlic (yes, I LOVE garlic and it’s good for the immune system)

¼ of a red Anaheim pepper, diced, from the garden (no seeds) – a little tame for my liking but gotta keep it edible for my kids)

Splash of white vinegar

Fresh chopped cilantro to taste

Salt to taste

 

Mix it all up.  I like to mash the avocados a little bit.  Scoop it up with some light crackers, crisp cucumber slices, tortilla or pita chips.  I love the seven-grain ones from Costco.  Enjoy!
