Recipe of the Day (#ROTD)

Years ago (1999 to be exact) I bought my first Barefoot Contessa cookbook by Ina Garden. I tried just about every recipe in it and each recipe was better then the next. One of the stand out recipes was her guacamole. I’ve shared it with you because since I started making I’ve never found another recipe that comes close to being better than this one.

• 4 ripe avocados
• 1 lemon (all of its juice)
• 8 dashes of hot sauce
• 1/2 cup small diced red onion
• 1 large garlic clove, minced
• 1 t salt
• 1 t pepper
• 1 small tomato diced

Dice the avocados into a large bowl. Immediately after dicing the avocado juice the entire lemon over the avocado. Add the hot sauce, onion, garlic, salt and pepper and stir well. With a sharp knife dice up any large pieces of avocados, tomatoes or onion~all ingredients should be small and bite size. Taste the mixture add more salt and pepper if needed.

Happy Eating!!
