Winter Guacamole


We love guacamole. Especially on football day. Or golf tournament days. Well, that makes we love guacamole on any weekend day! Gerry's watching Tiger's tournament (has it really been only two years since that fateful Thanksgiving weekend and where is Elin these days?)

Gerry bought the ingredients and I took some time out from writing columns this Sunday afternoon to make the guacamole because I love making guacamole as much as eating it. Years ago a friend taught me to make guacamole with lots of fresh cilantro and that's how we like it. We also like it chunky instead of smooth but it's personal taste!

2 or 3 ripe avocados, sliced and coarsely diced
1 or two ripe tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1/2 large onion, diced
1 T. freshly ground sea salt
1/2 lime squeezed or lemon if necessary
1 T. dried or 1 small can diced jalapeno peppers
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped

Let sit to meld the flavors. Serve any way!
