The Perfect Guacamole

The perfect guacamole is quick and easy to make. The only variable to perfect guac is making sure you have ripe avocados at the time that you need the guacamole. (Hint: Once avocados have reached the perfect ripeness they can be stored in the fridge for a few days before use.)

Many of you may have seen those "Guacamole Kits" at the market. They include avocados, a tomato, an onion, a pepper, maybe some garlic. Well, there is a much easier way to achieve guacamole nirvana.

Recipe
Avocados (approx. one per two people)

Refrigerated Salsa (Santa Barbara in the heat zone if you prefer for the end product)

Salt and pepper

One lime

1. Cut avocados in half, remove pit. Score avocados and squeeze the now cubed avocado out of it's skin into a shallow bowl large enough to hold all of the avocados.

2. Add a heaping tablespoon of salsa per each avocado used.

3. Dust with salt and pepper (don't over do it, there is no cure for too much salt except more avocados, you can add more later.)

4. Squeeze as much juice as you can get from the lime with just your hand.

5. Mash together with fork. Taste, and add additional salt and pepper as needed. If there is not enough "bite" to your guacamole, add a few dashes of cayenne.

P.S. If by some chance you have any leftover guacamole, cover with plastic wrap pressed directly to the top. This will keep out air and allow you to store for up to three days.
