The one with the avocado and cilantro

I love dipping things in guacamole, and I love dishes with cilantro. I've never combined my love for these two favorite things, but I mixed them up together a while ago. Normally I don't use red pepper, but chopped cherry tomatoes. This is how I made this cilantro guacamole: 


What you'll need:
  • 2 avocados
  • 1 lime
  • a big handful of fresh cilantro
  • 1/3 red pepper
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

 
Destone the avocados, scoop the good stuff out of the skins and toss in a bowl.
Mash them with a fork.

Squeeze the limes

and add the juice to the avocado

Finely chop the cilantro

And add to the mixture

Finally, chop the pepper and stir through all the green stuff
I added a pinch of salt and pepper too.

I served the guacamole with nacho chips and fresh bread. 
Are you an avocado aficionado? 
And what's your favourite guacamole recipe?

  4. I bet my husband would love this! He really likes those posted red peppers. There really is nothing like homemade guacamole - the stuff in the stores just can't compare.

    Honestly, I haven't made any since he left on deployment. Some days I don't eat enough fat (what a weird problem to have, right?!), so I should probably pick up some avocado to have on those occasions.

  13. I never thought of its. For me avocado means one thing : avocado shake. Haha I have never eaten raw avocado. In the workplace, they combine it with ice cream.. I don't like. Sorry

    But with the twist of your new ingredients, I think this can work for me especially with my favorite nachos.
