\"avocado.jpg\"<\/a><\/span>However we mark Cinco de Mayo (or don’t), it’s always fun to contemplate the delicious, heart-healthy dip that is guacamole.  My favorite recipe comes from the fabulous The Santa Fe School of Cooking Cookbook<\/a>.  It’s the perfect combination of lime-y tang and smooth avocado, fresh cilantro and warm chiles.  And ooh, that little zing from tiny diced tomatoes.  Mmmmm, guac….  Enjoy!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Guacamole<\/b><\/u>
3 ripe avocados, about 6 oz. each
3\/4 c. finely diced white onion
3\/4 c. diced red plum tomatoes
2-3 T finely chopped serrano chiles (jalapeno or other chiles may be substituted)
1\/2 c. coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
2 T freshly squeezed lime juice
2 t coarse salt, to taste<\/p>\n

Directions:
1. Cut each avocado in half and remove the pit. Cut the halves in half and carefully peel off the black skin.<\/p>\n

2. Cut the quarters into chunks and place in a medium bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork and stir in the onion, tomatoes, chiles, and cilantro.<\/p>\n

3. Season the mixture with lime juice and salt. Keep covered with plastic wrap pressed against the surface of the guacamole until ready to serve.<\/p>\n

Happy 5\/5, everyone!<\/p>\n
