directions
- Cut the avacadoes down the middle, around the seed and twist to split the avacadoes in half. Spoon out the seeds, saving them for later. Peel avacadoes and chop them as chunky or small as you like. Mash, if desired.
- Wash tomatoes and chop as chunky or small as you like.
- Chop the cilantro as finely as you can, chopping enough to fill the palm of your hand. ** Don't overdo the cilantro in this recipe! There's a fine line between delicate flavor and overpowering. **.
- In a medium sized bowl, combine all the ingredients (avacado, tomato, onion, cilantro, garlic, ginger, chili, cumin, salt, salsa and lime juice {not the lime itself}. Adjust the salt to taste. Best to start with too little salt than too much.
- Put the avacado seeds back into the guacamole (this prevents the avacado from browning), cover and let sit in your fridge for a minimum of 2 hours to let the flavours mingle.
- Serve.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
From a historic sense so you can understand my recipes as they come?
My mother = Native Canadian born but adopted by immigrants from England.
My father = pure red-headed Irish adopted by pure Scots.
Me = Torn between two parents adopted on both sides, confused on my own ancestry. Scottish by adoption, British by adoption, Irish by blood, Native Canadian by blood. Bi-racial by blood and ancestry, war by adoption... leads to curiousity and acceptance of all cultures so I will try SO MANY THINGS. As you will see as you get to know me and my recipes. :D ;)
