KILLER Guacamole.

I could live off of just avocados for the rest of my life. To me, they are the complete food. Creamy, utter decadence. I haven’t always liked avocados, but something about spending a week in Mexico for our wedding created this intense love for guacamole and all mexican food. Since then (and by then, I mean literally ordering guacamole for every meal while on our honeymoon) I have been working towards perfecting my guacamole recipe.

And for me, this is the ultimate. I’m not one for liking tomatoes in my guacamole, but lots of garlic is a must. Don’t let the fat content in avocados scare you away-they get a bad wrap, but they are a healthy superfood! I tell myself this as I add them to my omelets, wraps, and salads Its a great substitute on a sandwich for mayo too!

Health Benefits

Avocado-promotes heart health, provides the body with healthy omega-3′s, good source of potassium, increases the absorption of carotenoids from vegetables, and has phytonutrients that combat oral cancer

So when planning the menu for our little Labor day get together, I knew guacamole was a must. It was a hit…and I totally quadrupled the recipe..oops

Make this guacamole. Avocado in your life will never be the same.

Killer Guacamole

(makes 2 servings, but I eat it all)
Ingredients
2 avocados, mashed
1 garlic clove, diced (or roasted for even more creaminess)
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp lime juice
1 tbsp garlic powder
1/2 jalapeno, seeded & diced
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1/4 cup cilantro

Directions
Combine all ingredients in a bowl, and enjoy!
*Save one of the pits and leave in the bowl if you do not plan to eat right away, it will keep the guacamole from turning brown!
