Avocado Guacamole Recipe

Avocado Guacamole

Recipe by Jackie Cameron

On a healthier note, an avocado guacamole served with crudités (raw vegetables cut into bite-size strips) is light and satisfying. Nearby, place slices of old-style homemade cumin flavoured white bread and excellent-quality balsamic vinegar and olive oil. This will allow guests to drizzle vinegar and oil on the bread and, for a more substantial portion, finish with a spread of guacamole.

Yields : 1 bowl size

Ingredients :

2 Avocados, about 200g

15 ml freshly squeezed Lemon Juice

¼ Red Onion, chopped

½ Red Chilli, seeds removed and sliced

10ml fresh Mint, finely chopped

1 small garlic clove

½ medium Tomato, seeds removed and chopped

40g Cucumber, chopped

Tabasco, to taste

Salt and Pepper

Method :

1) With a fork lightly work the avocado until semi-smooth, add lemon juice and all the other ingredients

2) Finish with the Tabasco, salt and pepper
