I’ve only been making guacamole for the past year or so. Although I love this stuff, I’m not sure why I took so long to learn how to make it. Perhaps because I didn’t grow up eating them, the avocados intimidated me a bit.<\/p>\n

Because I really like the flavor of this tasty dip, I used to buy the pre-made version frequently. Several years ago, my husband bought a guacamole spice mix sachet, to which he added a chopped avocado, that resulted in – what I thought at the time – homemade guacamole. It was certainly nice of him, and the dip was tasty, I suppose, but nothing like the ones we’d eaten at restaurants.<\/p>\n

Then last year, a friend told me that her 8 year old daughter had a recipe for guacamole on her\u00a0<\/em>blog. I was quite stumped really. For starters, an eight year old is making this condiment, and I’m not? And secondly, the kid has a blog?! I used to think it, but at that instant I knew for certain, this child is definitely something else :-). So once I got over my shock, I went ahead and found out how she makes it<\/a>. I\u00a0also consulted another friend about her guacamole recipe, after which I decided to make this delectable dip for myself. Who knew it was this easy? Apparently everybody but me.<\/p>\n

My 7 year old loves guacamole, and has on occasion, polished an entire bowl by herself. I like to serve it on top of enchiladas, inside a quesadilla or even over \u00a0salad.\u00a0\"IMG_20150603_1444007_rewind-33360207\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In fact, here’s a picture of some that we had today, as part of our Vegetarian Wednesday lunch. This is how it’s made :<\/p>\n

1. Scoop out and mash the flesh of three ripe avocados using a mortar and pestle, or with a fork.\u00a0\"IMG_20150603_0925269_rewind\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Add in the juice of one lemon, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped cilantro, 3 tbsp chopped tomato, 1 chopped jalapeno (optional), 1\/2 tsp salt, 1\/4 tsp pepper, and 1\/8 tsp red chilli flakes. Taste for salt, and add more if needed. Stir well and serve.\u00a0

\n<\/a>Note : I used the avocado pit for presentation only, it is inedible:-)
