There’s nothing like a smooth, creamy guacamole. But I like mine slightly chunky so that it has some texture to it. Here’s a great recipe that has all the flavor and some great health benefits.

Ingredients

3 Haas avocados, halved, seeded and peeled

2 limes, juiced

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon cayenne

1/2 medium onion, diced

1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced

2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced

1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

1 clove garlic, minced

Directions

In a large bowl place the scooped avocado pulp and lime juice, toss to coat. Drain, and reserve the lime juice, after all of the avocados have been coated. Using a potato masher add the salt, cumin, and cayenne and mash. Then, fold in the onions, jalapeno, tomatoes, cilantro, and garlic. Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved lime juice. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour and then serve.

You may want to finish off with a little lime zest on top.  Just to add a little zing ;-)
