Guacamole is a Mexican avocado based dip traditionally prepared table-side in a Molcajete (a mortar made from volcanic rock). The recipe of Guacamole may vary person to person using variety of ingredients- trust me all are delicious. But the secret behind the best Guacamole is having best ripe, fresh and flavorful avocados. I have used Hass avocados to make my Guacamole,tossed with fresh tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalepeno and seasoned.

Note

• Guacamole should be served immediately for best fresh taste, but can be store refrigerated in air tight container for 2-3 days. Add the seed while storing.
• Sea salt gives a nice crunch to guacamole than table salt. Use if it’s available.
• Avocados oxidize very quickly, thus changes its color. So make sure to cut them in absolute last moment for fresh and green pulp.
• How to Peel and Cut Avocado

- With a sharp knife slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pit.

- Pull the seed out from the avocado half and make sure no seed bits remain in your avocado. Reserve the seed.

- Cube the avocados in a grid-like pattern in the avocado halves. Don't cut through the skin.
