Easy Guacamole

What’s a good Mexican-style meal without guacamole? We don’t work with avocados often, since we tend to focus on local Midwestern foods. Plus, guacamole is so popular that we get our fair share of avocado just attending social events, which always seem to have a dish of the green good stuff. Perhaps that’s why we’ve never developed a recipe in our own kitchen. (Crazy, we know.)

This version of guacamole comes to us from our friend Russell, who shared it as a component of a recipe he developed for us (coming tomorrow). We’ve tasted quite a bit of different guacamole recipes over the years, and this version stands out. The ingredients are simple, but the meld of flavors is balanced and smooth. I’m also partial to guacamole without tomato chunks, which makes for a smoother overall consistency. The recipe is easy to whip up; the vegetables are chopped in a food processor, and then mixed in with mashed avocado and lime juice.
