Guacamole Dip

Warm weather is almost here, and nothing says outdoor party quite like fresh guacamole. This recipe is officially named Suzanne's Guacamole and comes from the What Can I Bring? Cookbook by Anne Byrn. Try making some dip where you are and pretend it's warm.

Suzanne's Guacamole

Serves 4 to 8 (about 2 cups)

Prep: 15 mins.

Ingredients:

  • 2 perfectly ripe Hass avocados (about 1 pound)
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 2 limes), or more to taste
  • 4 scallions, both white and light green parts, finely chopped
  • 2 medium-size cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 packed tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco, or more to taste
  • Sea salt
  • Tortilla chips, for serving

Directions:

  1. Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop out the flesh, and place it in a medium-size non-reactive bowl. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of the lime juice over the avocados, then mash them to a slightly chunky consistency with a fork, making sure the lime juice gets evenly distributed.
  2. Add the scallions, garlic, cilantro, and hot pepper sauce and mix them into the avocados, making sure that they still keep a nice chunky texture. Taste for seasoning, adding salt to taste and more lime juice or hot pepper sauce, if desired. Serve surrounded with lots of fresh tortilla chips.
