This is my standard guacamole recipe. I was surprised that I liked the lemon juice over the traditional lime. The quantity of lemon juice really helps it to retain it's green color but you should store it with a plastic wrap or a wet paper towel directly on the surface to prevent browning.
Ingredients
- 3 avocado diced
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 cup red onion, minced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 8 dashes tabasco sauce
- 1/2-1 thai or jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced (1-2 tbsp) (optional)
Instructions
- Combine diced avocado with lemon juice and toss together.Combine other ingredients, starting with 1/2 the jalapeño (if using) and then combine with avocado mixture.Add additional jalapeño, tabasco and salt to taste.Refrigerate 1 hour or overnight prior to serving.HAPPY EATING!!
