Easy guacamole

I've currently into eating avocados. I love the creamy, rich texture that on its own seemed rather tasteless. But it absorbs beautifully the flavours of whatever dressings that goes with it. Of course, the other reason for my enthusiastic eating of said fruit these days is that I would like Faith to eat avocado when she starts weaning. I figured that the more I eat, she might get a taste of it through the milk and hence develop a taste of it herself *grin*.

Since I've been hankering after some not-so-healthy junk food like chips, I thought it would be a good idea to pair some junk food with health food by making an avocado dip to go along with my organic tortilla chips. That ought to balance things out a little.

So, here's my version of guacamole:

Ingredients

2 ripe avocados
1/4 onion, roughly chopped
Juice from about 1/4 of a lemon juice
1 tomato, diced
Salt, to taste

Method

1) Cut and scope avocado into a blender, along with the onions.

2) Squeeze the lemon juice in, add salt and blitz everything until smooth. If you like, you could pulse the blender so that the avocados don't get too mashed up and you have some rough bits for a different texture.

3) Scope pureed mixture into a container that can be refrigerated. Add in the diced tomato and mix well. Refrigerate it and eat with tortilla chips whenever you like *Slurp* :)

Personally, I don't like the strong taste of raw onions, therefore, I only use 1/4 onion. For onion lovers, you could even add in some chopped onions along with the tomatoes at the end for a nice crunch.

Next week, I think I shall make avocado salad. Hmmm.... Yummy!
