Guacamole

Another one from Barefoot Contessa.

She doesn’t like cilantro, but I do… so I always add a little of this.

I also double the lemon juice.

  • 4 ripe Haas avocados
  • 3 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (1 lemon)
  • 8 dashes Tabasco sauce
  • � cup small-diced red onion (1 small onion)
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 medium tomato, seeded, and small-diced

Directions

  1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh out of their shells into a large bowl. (I use my hands.)

  2. Immediately add the lemon juice, Tabasco, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper, and toss well.

  3. Using a sharp knife, slice through the avocados in the bowl until they are finely diced.

  4. Add the tomatoes.

  5. Mix well and add salt and pepper to taste.
