Guacamole

This recipe is from the Mexican Table Salsas course in the eCGI.

Guacamole is one of the oldest Mexican salsas. It's great as a side dish or a relish.

• 1 large, or two small, Hass avocados
  
• 1 lime
  

Salt

• 1/4 c white onion, minced
  

1-2 serranos, minced

• 
  

1 tomato, seeded and diced

• 
  

Halve the avocado by running a knife lengthwise down the center of the fruit against the pit and around to the other side. Gently twist and separate the halves. Remove the pit by swiftly embedding your knife blade into it and twisting away from the avocado. Dice the avocado in the peel by running a knife first lengthwise and then side-to-side creating a cross-hatch. Scoop out the flesh with a spoon into a bowl or molcajete. Add the juice of the lime and a pinch of salt. Lightly mash the mixture with a potato masher, fork, or the tejolote. Add salt to taste. Mix in onion, serranos, and tomato. Serve immediately. Makes about 1 1/2 cups
