How to Make – “5 Minutes” Guacamole

An irresistible yet super nutritious snack, guacamole is one of my favourite party foods.  Brimming with juicy, plump tomatoes and sweet, garlicky red onions, guacamole is a superfood that makes a fun social sharing dish as well as a flavour-packed topping on various dishes.

It’s also one of the easiest dishes to throw together and will be received with glowing compliments!  I love making this when I have the girls over for a movie night or a dinner party.  For a bit more flair, serve it with toasted parmesan crostini (for recipe, click here) instead of the traditional tortilla chips.  

What you’ll need (serves 6 or 4 greedy people!):

• 2 ripe avocados
• 2 tomatoes (deseeded and diced)
• half a red onion (diced)
• juice from half a lemon
• 1 clove of garlic (crushed)
• salt & pepper to taste

Cook Time:  5 minutes

Crush 1 garlic clove in the pestle & mortar to release all the flavourful aromas.

Dice tomatoes and onion.

Cut avocados in half and scoop out the creamy flesh.

Cream the avocado in the pestle & mortar, and squeeze half a lemon over the mix.  Sprinkle with salt & pepper to taste.  Combine with the vegetables.

Bon Appetit!
