Holy Guacamole! …a big batch!

I don’t know what’s so special about this Guac…but people rave about it at parties…so I’ll share Disclosure: I’m SO NOT a “cook”, nor do I have any culinary training, but somehow, I can make food, and things turn out…usually pretty darn good. My grandparents were bakers and chefs… so truly I believe being able to “create” in the kitchen is simply a “gift” from God. And I’m not afraid to just “get in there” with some ingredients. That also means I don’t measure much or follow recipes…I hate instructions typically. SO, If you don’t like my recipes, tweek them to YOUR liking. Give yourself grace to add a little extra of that which you love, or less of that which you dis-love.  BE FREE. It’s just food.

5 RIPE Avocados, halved and “peeled”
1 bunch Cilantro, leaves only, chopped (my secret: just start chopping off the top of the cilantro bunch…a little stem won’t hurt; who has time to pick all the leaves off ??)
Juice of 1 lemon
1 large Tomato, diced (or 2 small) …or use already made pico de gallo if you have some/want to (This could then replace the onion/jalapeno, as well)
1/2 – 3/4 cup Diced white (or yellow..or even red!) onion
Sea salt, to taste (I coat the top of all the ingredients with thin layer of salt; use less if CELTIC sea salt…it’s SALTY!)
White Pepper, to taste (slightly less than your amount of salt)
Garlic powder, to taste …not garlic salt (it would work w fresh garlic, too. I LOVE garlic so I always use extra)
Optional: Jalapeno, finely minced, to taste (we like spicy, so we grow our own jalapenos…they are HOT. we chop them really small & use them liberally…num num)

Make your guac in the bowl you plan to serve it out of, and big enough to get in there and mix everything together I use a knife and fork to start slicing/chopping…and once everything is getting smaller and blending, then just mash with a fork. Zach and I like it chunky. Chill and serve with ORGANIC tortilla chips, veggie sticks (zucchini, carrots, cucumber, squash, celery, etc), plantain chips, GF crackers, etc.

You can also use guac as a burger topping, sandwich spread, or as an add-in to a lettuce wrap.

NOTE: For those on Candida Diet- you can have plantain chips (Trader Joes), kale chips, or veggie sticks for dipping in the beginning. No corn chips or sweet potato chips initially. It will feed the yeast in your body and set you back. Not worth it. But it’s temporary
