Guacamole

I always thought avocado dip is something only very sophisticated people eat but only till I landed in Guatemala. You can find these avocado fruits appear in every single meal for the local people, be it breakfast, snack, lunch or dinner. They eat them with tortillas or nachos and I see school children bringing avocados for snack time when they scoop and eat them out and quickly go out to play. Guacamole was the first dish that my six year old daughter learnt to make at her school after school activity cooking club.

There is a very big avacado tree in our Condomonium at Zona 15. You can find fresh avocados throughout the year. Our security guards are always kind enough to share them with us. They even pack a big bag full of avocados.

We have become latinos in that sense because we eat them everyday, with toast or rotis or chips or make a shake. I even use avocado for vegan cakes to get the rich texture.

Ingredients:

2 ripe avocados
1/2 Tomato finely chopped
Lemon and Salt to taste

Method

Scoop the avocados, mash and add the tomatoes, lemon and salt.
If you like pepper, feel free to add paprika, black pepper or chat masala for the tangy effect.

It is good to have them with nachos or as a dip for any chips or toasted bread.

Tip: If you are not serving immediately, after you prepare the guacamole leave the seed of the avocado in the dip and this will prevent retaining the color for quite some time.

Enjoy!!!
