Guacamole

I don’t know about you all, but I love avocados!  One of my favorite snacks or appetizers is guacamole, and it is really easy to make!  Many of the pre-made versions you can buy in the store actually do not contain very much avocado, and may contain additives and preservatives that I do NOT want in my food.  For this reason I like to make my own guacamole and enjoy the fresh taste and health benefits of real avocados.  I know that it is slightly more work, but I am sure once you try it you will not want to go back!  I hope you all enjoy this recipe!

Ingredients:

• 2 avocados
• 1/4 large onion (1/4 cup chopped)
• 1/2 red bell pepper (1/4 cup chopped)
• 1/4 cup of chopped cucumber
• Juice of 1 large lime or lemon
• 1 1/2 tsp of cumin
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:  Finely dice the onion, pepper and cucumber and add them to a bowl.  Take the two avocados and remove the pit and scoop them out into the bowl.  Add the lime juice, cumin and salt and pepper to the bowl.  Mash the avocados and other ingredients together and the guacamole is ready to eat!  Enjoy!
