Greg's Favorite Guacamole

The secret to great guacamole is: "Less is more!" Forget about the chili powder, the salsa from a jar, the sour cream, etc. Just keep it fresh and simple. Also, don't "over mash it."

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 3  avocados (Hass, medium)
• 1  tablespoon lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 1⁄2 cup pico de gallo, preferably fresh
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons  chopped garlic
• 1  teaspoon olive oil
• 1  teaspoon  jalapeno, stemmed, seeded and minced
• 1  teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Pit the avocados.
2. Score avocado meat without cutting through the skin.
3. Scoop out the avocado meat with a large spoon and place in a mixing bowl.
4. Add the lime juice and stir to evenly coat the avocados.
5. Stir in the Pico de Gallo, garlic, oil, jalapeno and salt.
6. Gently mash and toss the avocado pieces.
7. The guacamole is the right consistency when more large pieces than mashed parts remain.
