Guacamole

Guacamole is awesome especially homemade. Lately avocados have been on sale at Price Chopper, and I've been on a Mexican kick with the nice weather, so I've had plenty of excuses to make this delicious dip. It's pretty easy as long as you pick up all the ingredients before. I've found a potato masher comes in handy for the avocados, and that tasting after adding each ingredient is the best and most delicious way to test it!

Guacamole
3 ripe avocados
1/2 medium tomato, seeded and diced
1/2 medium red or white onion, diced
1jalapeño or serrano pepper, seeded and minced (optional.. but it's awesome)
2 Tbsp cilantro
juice from 1 small lime
juice from half an orange
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste.

Peel and pit the avocados. Mash to desired coarseness with potato masher or fork. Add ingredients one at a time, tasting!! Cover tightly with plastic wrap until ready to enjoy, which should be sooner than later or it will start to brown.

While I'm on the subject, I'm in love with my avocado knife that's shaped like an avocado! It makes pitting and peeling so much easier, especially since I eat avocados pretty much every day.

EDIT: I've added the juice from half an orange to the ingredients list. This seriously gives the guacamole an extra freshness and specialness that is sure to impress your guests.
