I got the idea for this guacamole from my sisters's chef. We call her Chef Jen. The recipe is really simple, but that's the beauty of it: the taste of the avocado isn't smothered.
Here's what you'll need:
3 medium sized, ripe avocados (or the equivalent)
1 Tablespoon of lime
1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt
(Opt. ) My secret ingredient: 1/2 teaspoon of homemade Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing
Scoop the avocados into a mixing bowl. Using a fork mash the avocado, making sure that you leave lots of chunks. Next lightly mix in lime, garlic salt (and ranch.) Sample the guacamole with chips, so you know how it will really taste. Serve with tortilla chips. (Serves 4 -6 depending how hungry people are.)
Fun fact: We celebrate Cinco de Mayo in the States on May 5th (the day that Mexico won a battle against France). The real independence day for Mexico is September 16th which is the day they won their independence from Spain 50 years earlier.) People from Mexico actually laugh that we make such a big deal about "Cinco de Mayo", but hey it's a good excuse to have fun!
