Instructions

Additional Notes

Combine first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well. Season to taste with the salt and pepper.
Guacamole dates back to the Aztecs. Read our complete article all about guacamole for more information including history, recipes, storage tips, freezing as well as info on avocado varieties. Makes 3 cups
Cut the avocado in half. Tap the avocado seed with the edge of a sharp knife and give the knife a quick twist to dislodge the seed. Remove and discard the seed. Now use a "tablespoon" size kitchen spoon to scoop each avocado half from its shell. Cut each half in small dice and place in a medium bowl. Mash with a fork.
Add the lemon juice and mix well.
Now stir in the rest of the ingredients until uniformly mixed. Cover and refrigerate until ready for use. Exposure to air will darken the guacamole so keep it covered until you are ready to use it.
Add all ingredients in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes prior to serving. This allow time for the flavors to blend.
