Chunky Guacamole

If you could only eat one thing ever, what would it be? If you were stranded on an island with one food, what would it be? My answer to all these types of questions is always:

                                                                            AVOCADO 

And the only way to make it even better, is to mash it up and eat it on a chip. I couldn't live happily without it.

Chunky Guacamole Recipe

serves 1

just kidding....maybe

3 Avocados, choose ones that are dark in color all over and give nicely when pushed but do not leave   

an imprint.

1 small Roma tomato, insides removed and diced

1 1/2 tsp finely minced shallot (see Raspberry Vinaigrette recipe for more info on what these are)

1 T minced fresh cilantro

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp lime juice

1. Halve avocados by starting with the middle of your blade at the top and slicing down until you hit the pit. Rotate the avocado around the knife until you have made a complete cycle. Twist halves and pull apart. Remove the flesh with a spoon and place in a shallow bowl.

2. Mash as much of the avocado with a fork as you desire. You can leave it chunky if you like. Add remaining ingredients and stir. 

3. Sometimes I cheat by simply mashing the avocados with 1/2 cup of my Pico de Gallo. You really can't go wrong.
