Red Onion & Lime Guacamole
- 4 whole Avocados, About Medium In Size
- 2 whole Limes (depends On Time Of Year, Sometimes We've Had To Use As Many Limes As Avocados.)
- 13 whole Red Onion (or To Taste, We Like A Big Chunk In Every Bite.)
- 1/2 teaspoons Sea Salt (or To Taste)
- 1.
- Halve the avocados and remove the pit.
- Slice them from tip to bottom, about the width of a usual avocado slice.
- Then slice once across the width.
- DO NOT SLICE THROUGH TO THE SKIN.
- 2.
- Either by squeezing the skin or using a spoon, remove all of the avocado into a bowl and smash them all up with a fork.
- Leave plenty of nice chunks.
- I use a fork because it does a good job mashing while still leaving chunks.
- When making a larger batch, a potato masher would work just fine & save you a lot of work.
- 3.
- Squeeze the lime into the avocado and mix in completely, helps keep it from browning.
- If you dont get all of the juice from the lime, use more lime.
- The lime is what really gives this flavor, brings out the avocado... dont be afraid to be generous with the lime!
- 4.
- Slice up about a third of the onion, enough for how much you really want.
- 5.
- Add the salt to taste... believe me, it makes a HUGE difference.
- 6.
- Mix everything completely and enjoy!
- You can add some pepper also, or even garlic.
- Im allergic to garlic but Im sure itll make it taste even more amazing!
- If you have any leftovers (we never do, seriously, Jeff once ate a six avocado portion mostly by himself) just store it tightly in a Tupperware container.
- TIPS: Avocados are available year round since they can stay fresh on the tree even after reaching the perfect point of ripening.
- To pick an avocado, DO NOT SQUEEZE IT!
- Just gently put pressure on the tip, if it gives just a little, its ready to be used.
- If its still rock firm, let it sit out on your counter a few days.
- Squishy avocados are too ripe to make this chunky guacamole, theyre a pain to work with.
