Avocado Salad (Chunky Guacamole)

Avocados were on sale this week and they were nice and ripe so what better recipe to start with than my Avocado salad!

You can tell the ripeness by the feel of the avocado. It should be firm enough that you can't squish it easily with your hand, yet soft enough that you can make some indentation if you squeeze the fruit.

This salad is great for a party or as a side dish to tacos or quesadillas.  Serves 4.

Needed Ingerdients:
2 ripe Avocados
3-4 cloves of garlic (Or garlic powder)
1/8th cup fresh cilantro
1/2 lime (or lime juice)
1/4 tablespoon Kosher Salt

 

Finely chop the cilantro, garlic, and avocado. I prefer a chunky consistency but if you want a true guacamole, just run the ingredients through a food processor.  

Mix cilantro, garlic and avocado in a bowl.

Now take 1/4 lime and give it a squeeze. Just one good squeeze will do. Don't empty the entire 1/4 lime into the salad.

 

Add salt & mix together. Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or with any Mexican dish. I prefer mine with blue corn chips.
