Guacamole

Olé olé

Time for guacamole!

It has been a while but here is the next recipe. It is easy, healthy and delicious!
Avocados are a healthy food. They are a good source for proteins, contain good fats (like fish, walnuts and most seed oils) and vitamin A (good for the eyes!) and they prevent inflammation and heart disease. 
A good way to eat avocado is to cut it in half, remove the pit and sprinkle with some line juice and black pepper and just spoon it out. Hint: if you have a half avocado you'd like to preserve: keep the pit in it. It will prevent the avocado from turning brown.
But there is another way: Guacamole!
Guacamole is an avocado mousse originally from the South of Mexico. It is eaten with tortilla's or tortilla chips or as a side dish. 
I am really fond of the pure avocado taste, so in my recipe I don't use tomato or onion. But feel free to add them to the recipe!

If you love avocado as much as I do, check out the Avocado & Salmon recipe!

If you are going with the optional ingredients. Just add the into the mixture, finely chopped of course!
