Recipe: Easy guacamole

Guacamole is one of the easiest and tastiest ways of consuming avocado. It can be eaten as a dip (with corn chips, crackers or vegetable sticks), as a topping for chilli, tacos or salads, on toast, in burritos, wraps, burgers, etc.

There are many ways of making guacamole and, in general, I think you should make it however you like. Having said that, I do follow a few rules:

• Use lime, never lemon
• Any kind of onion can be used: red, brown, green, eschalots. Just make sure it’s finely chopped.
• Never use garlic
• The tomato is optional, particularly if you’re sharing with people with food sensitivities
• Black pepper is optional
• Don’t mash the avocado to death, keep it chunky. It’s a dip, not a smoothie bowl.
