Guacamole
c/o Lauren's Latest
2 ripe Haas avocados
1 lime, juiced
1 garlic clove, finely minced
salt
pepper
1 small roma tomato, diced
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
Directions
Open ripe avocados, remove the seed and scoop out the flesh into a large bowl. Squeeze lime juice over avocados and mash slightly. Stir in remaining ingredients and serve! I find it is best when you let the guacamole sit in the fridge 20-30 minutes to let the garlic work its magic.Skinnygirl Margarita
