Guacamole

Guacamole

I still find it funny how you have to offer free food to people to get them to come out to a meeting or social function. Food supposedly breaks apathy. Serve up a tasty dish and people are bound to listen to you more attentively. If someone knows how to make great food, he must be good at everything else right? Haha. Suckers. No, but seriously, serve up some tasty dishes and people will probably come back for a second round the next time you hold a meeting. Try out this guacamole dip the next time you need to mobilize a bunch of people. Not only mobilize, but energize. This delicious dip contains a bunch of good fats, fiber, minerals and vitamins. So you can eat to your heart's content and not be sluggish for the picketing rally afterwards. Just triple or quadruple the recipe for a larger group. This recipe serves 3-4.


Ingredients 

3 ripe avacados

1/2 medium onion

1 tsp salt

2-3 tbsp finely chopped cilantro

2 cloves garlic

Juice of 2 limes (approx. 2 tbsp)

2 diced roma tomatoes

(Spicy/hot-option) 1 very finely minced chili pepper or 1/8 tsp cayenne
(not recommended for meetings since everyone has a different spice tolerance level) 


Directions 

1) Finely mince the onion and the garlic. Place into mixing bowl.

2) Add salt, finely chopped cilantro, juice of 2 limes, (optional) spicy option, and diced roma tomatoes into the bowl.

3) Pit, peel, and chop up the avocados so you have a few chunks but mostly mashed and put into the mixing bowl. Give everything a good stir. Refrigerate for an hour or two to let the flavours mingle before serving.

4) Enjoy!!




So, there you have it!! A very simple, healthy and tasty guacamole recipe. Use it as a dip for tortilla chips, to top grilled chicken or salads, or to attract more than 2 people to your protests. Just remember to make enough for everyone or they might end up turning on you. :-)


Cheers!!
