Wholy Guacamole!

Guacamole is literally a NO BRAINER! While people do swear by their favorite varieties in recipe, let's just drop the pomp and circumstance and get down to the business of what's really in guacamole to begin with. It doesn't require much more than the number of ripened avocados to perfection you buy; which btw, is the hardest thing about it. Careful while shopping. Press the avocado gently with your fingers. Through the trial and error of buying them you'll soon figure which ones are ripe and which ones have been squeezed to death by people who do not heed the word gently when testing them.


Wholy Guacamole
Stuff To Pull Out of the Refrigerator and Cupboards After You Get Up Off The Couch and Walk Over to the Kitchen.

- 4 large and perfectly ripened organic avocados
- salt
- pepper
- the juice squeezed from 1 organic lime or lime juice equivalent

Bling
Th-th-th-that's all folks! Really. Bling it up with more ingredients from this video or my Mango-Tango Salsa if you need more pomp in your circumstance. But really--I'd rather spend my time chippin' and dippin'!



Mix it up!
Cut avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the soft green interiors into a bowl. Add the lime--you're the coconut--and mix it all up. Mush with a fork until smooth (or use a food processor to blend it up if you're making huge amounts of this). Add salt and pepper to taste.

Suggestions
Careful not to fill up on chips and guacamole--especially if you sneak in a side of Mango-Tango Salsa. This can be easily mistaken for dinner! 


Mmmmm...Now that's good eatin'!
