There has been a string of beautiful weather over the past couple of weeks, and with it a seemingly endless number of celebrations. We’ve had the annual Memorial Day cookout, the end-of-a-tough-soccer-season pool party, and the we-got-knocked out-of-the-baseball-playoffs gathering. Never wanting to go empty-handed, I often bring along chips and salsa. Always a crowd pleaser, sure, but let’s admit it — BORING.
What to do? Recently I whipped up a batch of my sister’s incredible guacamole recipe. I can’t remember where she got it from, but she started bringing it to family events a few years ago and it gets rave reviews. Purists, beware! This is not your everyday guacamole recipe, but it is devilishly delicious!! And with only four ingredients, it couldn’t be any simpler.
If you gave up on avocados long ago ’cause they’re just too dang awkward to cut and peel, please review this, a wonderful explanation on how to quickly and easily handle this ugly little fruit. Trust me, if you’ve bobbled an avocado crazily while attempting to seed it, or sent the golfball-like seed flying across the kitchen, or cursed madly while trying to pull it out with your fingers, check out the link. It will be 45 seconds well spent.
