      I love guacamole! Those are the same ingredients I use for mine too, only a slightly different method. Looks fantastic! Which reminds me, I have a ton of avocados that I need to use up.

      Hi Erica. This is basically my recipe as well, except I always add about 1/2 tsp of cumin to meld the flavors even more. Then to make sure you always open the batch to a bright green instead of black, make sure to put Saran wrap directly over the guacomole and pressing against it then cover it. This guarantees fresh green all the time.

      Sigh.... Nothing makes a good dish better than a good guacamole. =) My problem is I wind up eating half of the avocado before I can mash it LOL.

      Another easy Avocado recipe, Take the avocado and core and clean like Erica says, then cut it in to trangular wedges lengthwise, so you'll have 6-7 inch long strips of the avocado, then drizzle some lime juice over it and shake some salt over it. It works better if the avocado is already cold. I could eat avocado like that all day, if it wasn't nearly $2 per avocado I would probably eat it all day.
