Guacamole Dip Recipe

This guacamole recipe is easy and fun for kids to make all on their own. Parties, pot lucks, tailgating parties, and holidays are all great occasions for making this guacamole dip recipe.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 ripe avocados
  • 1 plum tomato, chopped
  • 3 Tbsp. freshly-squeezed lime juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (reserve a sprig or two for garnish)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped spring onions
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt

Preparation:

  1. Pit the avocados.* Place flesh in a medium bowl.

  2. Stir in remaining ingredients until it reaches the desired consistency. You can make it as chunky or as smooth as you like.

  3. Garnish with cilantro.
Serve immediately.

*To pit the avocados, simply cut in half lengthwise until you reach the pit. Keep the knife still and turn the avocado with your free hand. When you've sliced all around the pit, put the knife down and twist the avocado halves in opposite directions.

You will now be able to open the avocado. Take out the pit with a spoon. Discard. Then scoop out the avocado flesh with a spoon.
