Well, although the rest of our summer recipes were a failure we managed to come out of the evening with one gem. A Very tasty guacamole… nice and light and simple to make.
Dos Camino’s Guacamole Dip
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons finely chopped Cilantro leaves;
- 2 Teaspoon finely chopped white onion;
- 2 Teaspoons minced Jalapeno;
- 1/2 Teaspoon Kosher salt;
- 2 Large avocados, peeled and seeded;
- 2 Tablespoons finely chopped plum tomato (cored and seeded);
- 1 Teaspoon finely chopped pressed garlic (the original recipe doesn’t call for garlic, but we added it anyways…cause we love garlic!)
- 1 Teaspoon of olive oil;
- 2 Teaspoons fresh lime juice.
Instructions
- Add 1 tablespoon of cilantro, 1 teaspoon each of onion and the minced chili, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to a medium bowl or a mortar. Mash together with spoon or pestle until a paste is formed.

- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top. Gently fold in tomato.
