Guacamole

A simple yet delicious recipe, guacamole was first developed by the Aztecs in what is now Mexico. It is versatile, can be used as a condiment, spread, or dip on chips, bread/sandwiches or veggies.

Now about how I got involved in it. One cold winter night, everyone was bored, and dinner wasn't here yet. There was a bag of avocados, fresh and ripe, and lying right in front of me. What else could be done other than making a creamy and hearty snack out of these adorable avocados!

Ingredients:

• 3 avocados

• 1 small clove of garlic, peeled

• Dash of cumin

• Juice of ⅓ large lemon

• a pinch of Salt, about 1/8~1/4 teaspoon

Steps:

1. Halve, pit and mash the avocados in a large bowl.

2. Finely dice the clove of garlic.

3. Combine avocados, garlic, cumin and lemon juice in a large bowl.

4. Sprinkle salt to taste.

5. Serve with tortilla chips, bread or veggie sticks.

With a full stomach and an empty plate, I began to question the purpose of dinner...
