HOW TO MAKE SALSA VERDE GUACAMOLE
- Cut 3 avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop the avocado into a mixing bowl and add the lime juice, salt, and garlic powder. Mash with a fork to desired consistency. You can leave it chunky or mash it really well for a smooth guacamole.
- Add some tomatoes that have been seeded and chopped, red onion, cilantro, jalapeno, and salsa verde.
- Mix it together well and serve!
TIPS FOR MAKING GUACAMOLE
- It’s best to serve this right away to prevent over browning. But, if you prefer it cold you can refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving. The acid from the lime juice and tomatoes will prevent it from browning for that short time. You can also place the avocado pits back into the bowl and then cover with plastic wrap. This will help prevent browning even more.
- The recipe as is, is not spicy at all. Just lots of flavor! If you want spice then use the entire jalapeno, do not take out the seeds of the jalapeno, and/or add a few dashes of hot sauce.
- It’s important to seed the tomatoes otherwise the guacamole will have too much liquid in it.
- You want to make sure that you finely chop the red onion and cilantro. No one wants huge pieces of onion in their guacamole. Same with the tomatoes, make sure that they are chopped small.
