Ali’s Guacamole

In between Maggie’s run and soccer games, I was able to come home for a little break and grab a quick bite to eat.  Luckily because of the anticipation of Cinco de Mayo, I had already gone grocery shopping to purchase all the produce I needed for my Guac recipe!

In case you want to try it out, here’s the recipe I use, it’s quick and delicious:

3 avocados
1 tomato
½ onion
1 lime (for juice)
All-season (I use Publix brand)
salt (to your taste)

Mash the avocado’s in a bowl until little to no lumps (I use a mashed potato masher to speed of the process).  Dice a tomato and ½ onion and throw into the mix.  Squeeze in lime juice and add a sprinkle of All-seasoning.  Stir together and your dip is ready!
