Guacamole

Name: Guacamole
Ingredients: 3 Avocados; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 1/4 cup diced tomato; 2 tbs minced cilantro; 2 limes juiced; 1 jalepeno, seeded and minced; 1/4 cup diced onion; 1-2 tsp kosher salt

Guacamole is a concert of fat (avocado), acid (lime), and salt (kosher). Get those three things in balance, and you have perfection. Don’t and gloppy green goop.

Overall, keep it simple. You could add plenty of other stuff, but why?

Cutting an avocado safely.
