World’s Easiest Guacamole

I love guacamole.

Until Little Brother arrived on the scene, I was, alas, the only avocado-lover at the Yankee Homestead.  So sad.

I made guacamole only for guests, because I was incapable of eating a whole batch on my own.

Now I can whip up a small batch and even Mr. Native Texan will pitch in and eat some!  Older Brother’s still holding out, but in time I hope he too will come to appreciate the Amazing Avocado.

Update: Baby Bro has joined the ranks of avocado fans at my house.  Hooray!

What’s so amazing about the avocado?

Avocados contain good fats and nutrients known to:

• Prevent heart disease
• Increase nutrient absorption
• Prevent aging
• Prevent cataracts
• Contribute to healthy skin and hair
• Improve diabetic conditions
• Maintain healthy weight
• Enhance the immune system
• Benefit overall health

I use avocados for so many purposes: as a substitute for mayo and sour cream, on soups and salads and sandwiches, and of course, in guacamole!  Below is my go-to recipe.
