My Simple Guacamole Recipe

Admittedly I took up eating avocados later in life. Somewhere around my mid-forties I tried the superfood fruit, and I haven’t looked back. So many great things packed into this little green ovoid. (That’s a three-dimensional oval shaped thing, don’t you know.) Try vitamins C, E, K, and B-6 as well as niacin, folate, riboflavin, and pantothenic acid. And don’t leave out the minerals potassium and magnesium. Add to that list omega-3 fatty acids, beta-carotene, and lutein. All that goodness translates to heart health, weight loss, and better digestion. Avocados are also good for your skin and help balance hormones naturally.

On to more practical reasons, this recipe is easy to make, doesn’t require a lot of ingredients, and is a perfect addition to backyard barbecues or other summer celebrations. I’m thinking red and blue tortilla chips served alongside the guacamole for a simple side served on your Fourth of July picnic table. For best results, make it up fresh right before serving it.

So let’s get to the recipe.
