Guacamole

This is one of the best, easy and healthy dips to enjoy I would say. I have always enjoyed it in mexican restaurants and this is the first time I made it at home. I followed Alton brown's recipe from Food Network. It can be used as a dip or as a spread in sandwiches. We had it with some tortilla chips.

Ingredients
Avocados - 3
Lemon juice - from one lemon
Tomato - 2 small sized
Onion - 1/2 finely chopped
Coriander/cilantro - 1 tablespoon chopped
Garlic - 1 teaspoon minced
Ground cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
Green chillies - 2 minced
Salt to taste

Directions
Halve ,peel and deseed the avocados. In a bowl place the avocados and lemon juice. Add al the ingredients together and using a potato masher mash the ingredients to form a chunky dip. Season with salt.
Allow to rest for about 30 minutes in a refrigerator and then enjoy. Keep it covered since it oxidizes easily.
Enjoy!
