Guacamole Recipe
This recipe makes a full bowl of guac, which is way more than you need for the deviled eggs recipe above. Set the remainder out in a bowl with chips for your party.
Unfortunately, guacamole does not store well. If you need to store it, place a piece of plastic wrap over the bowl. Push it down until it touches the guac and no air is left inside. Store in the refrigerator.

- 4 Avocados
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1 clove Garlic crushed
- 1 Tomato finely chopped
- 1/4 cup Onion finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon ground Cumin
- 3 drops Hot Pepper Sauce to taste
- Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
Starting at the top, with a very sharp knife, cut down into each avocado until you hit the seed. Cut completely around the avocado, top to bottom, touching the pit the entire time.
Pull the two halves of the avocado apart and remove the seed with a spoon.
Use the spoon to scoop the avocado out of the skin. Some people like to score the avocado with a knife before scooping. Make sure to gently scrap the skin to get the dark, creamy "good stuff."
Place 2/3 to 3/4 of the softest avocados in a mixing bowl. Using a fork, roughly mash them.
Place the remaining firmest avocados on a cutting board or plate and chop into 1/4 to 1/2-inch pieces. Add these to the mashed avocado in the bowl and mix well.
Add in the lemon juice and garlic. Mix well.
Stir in remaining ingredients to blend.
Use immediately.
