Is there anything better than a simple yet delicious recipe? This easy guacamole is a definite crowd pleaser! Whether it's Cinco de Mayo or just another day during the summer, the party is going to be that much better by making and serving this dip!
Take a knife and slice around the pit of the avocado and twist apart. Look for any bruises that may need to be removed with a spoon. Scoop the flesh out and place it in a bowl.
Squeeze lime juice directly on top of the avocados and sprinkle with salt.
Use a small avocado or potato masher and mash the avocado to the consistency desired.
Finely chop the onion and coarsely chop the cilantro.
Add cumin, if desired. It adds a nice, unique flavor to the guacamole.
Use the masher again to incorporate the onion and cilantro into the avocados.
Let the guacamole chill for an hour so the flavors combine and become more intense. The lime juice and salt work to maintain the characteristically green color of the avocados.
