Guacamole Yumminess

I use to be one of those people who disliked avocados simply because they were green and I was not familiar with the taste. My love for avocado started and grew when I moved to Virginia. I enjoy them on my salads and love to season them with Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO), Mediterranean Sea Salt, and freshly Cracked Black Pepper (Out of this world deelish!). I tried my hand at a simple recipe for Guacamole since I don't like it when anyone else makes it. I think this is the message that I'd like to send for today: If you don't like it, try to make it yourself! I know what I do and do not like about it, so I can add and or omit ingredients as I see fit. One of the ingredients I omitted is Cilantro. I hate it and can only tolerate a little amount, and since I didn't have any today, I didn't use any at all and I'm okay with that, lol.

Ingredients
2 Avocados (Ripe=Soft, but not too mushy)
2 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice (From a real lemon, not a bottle. Trust me. There's a difference)
1/2 Tomato cut into small pieces
2 Tablespoons Onion diced into very small pieces (You can use whatever onion you have. I used a Spanish onion, but I'm thinking a red onion might work best)
1 Tablespoon of EVOO
1 Tablespoon Mediterranean Sea Salt
2 teaspoons Freshly Cracked Black Pepper

Directions
1.) Dice the avocado into large chunks and add to a small bowl. (See pics below for those not too familiar with avocados)


2.) Add all the other ingredients into the bowl and stir, being sure not to break down the chunks of avocado. (Be gentle. Incorporate well, but don't start stirring too hard that you make a mash out of everything, lol)

3.) Damn that was easy. Serve and enjoy :)


Great as a dip for chips, with Quesadillas, by itself, however you like it, it's great.
