These are a few of my favorite green things.
Limes, cilantro, avocados...
I really love basil too, but that is a story, and a recipe, for another time.
I've been on a lime chicken taco salad kick lately, and a big part of this is making guacamole.
I love love love love love guacamole.
Sorry, I get really excited about guacamole. In fact, if it was legal, I would marry a bowl of guacamole. For eternity.
Since D doesn't tolerate tomatoes and onions, I modified this amazing recipe to fit both of our needs. I really just need the avocado, lime, cilantro and garlic to satisfy my guacamole craving. Tomatoes and onions can wait for another day.
- 3 avocados - peeled, pitted, and mashed
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- (1/2 cup diced onion)
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- (2 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced)
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 pinch ground cayenne pepper (optional)
- In a medium bowl, mash together the avocados, lime juice, and salt. Mix in onion, cilantro, tomatoes, and garlic. Stir in cayenne pepper. Refrigerate 1 hour for best flavor, or serve immediately.
- I actually just use a stick blender and puree everything together. I like it nice and smooth. But chunky is delicious too so follow your own heart.
- Note: I know I used key limes in the pictures, but I did use just regular good ol' limes for the guacamole. The key limes just looked better, all tiny and cute.
