Easy and flavorful guacamole

Hi Everyone,

I've been working on an easy to make, delicious bowl of guacamole as something refreshing for the summer:

Peel and pit 6 fresh avocados, and mush them up with a potato masher in a pyrex bowl.

Mix in one pre-made container of pico de gallo (available in the produce section of most grocery stores)

Squeeze in the juice from 2 whole, fresh limes, and add table salt or kosher salt to taste (I find mixing in the juice of one half of a lime, then salt, then stir, then repeat works well."

(Optional) add the finely diced leaves of one head of cilantro for additional flavor

Serve with tortilla chips lightly sprinkled with lime juice and enjoy!

Not to take away from the good recipe. This is just something I used this week for mine that helped with dehydrated garlic, red onions, orange peel, etc.
Pro Tip :
Squeeze limes first in bowl.
Add dry ingredients to rehydrate (if using) dry spices.
Then add avocado and M.A.S.H.
The lime juice prevents the avocado from turning brown immediately. Otherwise they usually turn very quickly.

I never can make guacamole.

It's not that I don't have the patience. I just like avocados too much. I never can peel them fast enough to outpace my mouth eating them.

You can also cover the already made guacamole with plastic wrap. Gently press the wrap on to thr actual surface of the guacamole. It will stay good longer and not oxidize if you don't let the air touch it

That must be how the premade in the store stays fresh. It's impressive how long their vacuum sealed lasts. I will make sure to do that when taking it to a pot luck dinner or saving leftovers.

Your suggestion for fresh cilantro makes a big difference. I like that in guacamole and salsa. Some people like toasted sesame seeds or oil too, but it's a little strong flavor wise.
