Simplest Guacamole

My recipes are low carb paleo: fresh,healthy, whole food ingredients with very few starches, no sugars, no vegetable oils. The health of my spouse and myself has improved dramatically eating this way.

This is my go-to guacamole.

Great with Guacamole Pepper Poppers and Marinated Portobello Bun Burgers

For a variation on classic guacamole, try Chunky Guacamole. Also see Whole30 Guacamole and Creamy Avocado Dressing

2 ripe Haas avocados or 1 Florida avocado

juice of one lime (or less to taste)

1 tsp garlic powder, or to taste

salt and pepper to taste

subheading: Optional ingredients:

cilantro or culantro, finely chopped (opt)

1 tsp cumin (opt)

dash cayenne (opt)

1 jalapeno, stem and seeds removed, minced (add more or less to taste) (opt)

1 T Basic Salsa Verde (Mexican Tomatillo Salsa) (opt)

1 T Caribbean Cuisine Green Seasoning (opt)

Remove avocado from shell carefully into a bowl. I like to use a spoon to get every last bit of the meat from the inside.

Add rest of ingredients and mash together with a fork.

Serve immediately, or cover the bowl with plastic wrap (so that the plastic is literally touching the entire top layer of the guacamole) and refrigerate.

I do not like adding tomatoes to guacamole because they tend to make it too thin. However, I do love sprinkling diced tomatoes over the top when serving.
