keep your diet real

I don’t know what’s happening lately, but my craving for Mexican food is completely outrageous. From the moment we landed in California for our honeymoon, I have been craving fish tacos and anything slathered in guacamole. For the past seven weeks, I have made a conscious effort to satisfy this craving by eating (almost) anything made with avocado on a near-daily basis.

Last Saturday, I made this yellow pepper guacamole for a 4th of July party at Kevin’s aunt’s house.  This was the first time (that I can remember) that I added the yellow pepper. It adds a nice texture. I’d love to hear how you make your guac.

Ingredients

• 4 ripe avocados
• 1 vine ripened tomato (seeded and diced)
• ¼ small onion, diced
• 3 cloves of fresh garlic, minced
• ½ of a yellow pepper, seeded and diced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon of fresh squeezed lime juice
• 1 tablespoon of fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

1. Dice the onion, tomato, pepper, and avocado “meat” and combine in a large mixing bowl
2. Add the minced garlic, salt, pepper, lime juice, and cilantro to the mixing bowl
3. Combine all of the ingredients until well mixed (leaving some avocado pieces chunky)
4. Enjoy with fresh raw veggies, tortilla chips, tacos, as a sandwich spread, or however you prefer to eat your guacamole
