APPETIZERS: NEVER BROWN GUACAMOLE (click here to print)

NEVER BROWNS GUACAMOLE

3 ripe avocados, stone and skin removed
small handful cilantro, minced
juice of 1 lime
3 scallions, white and light green part only, diced
1 jalepeno, minced (seeds and membrane removed for mild, or not for spicy)

OK here is the secret: Dissolve 1/4 cup sea salt in 2 cups of water.  Add the peeled and stoned avocados to the salt water, and leave them in for about 5 minutes.  Drain the water and transfer the avocados to a clean bowl. The salt water doesn’t make the guacamole salty, but I find that I don’t need to add any additional salt to the recipe.

Mash them up, with a fork, potato masher, or whisk and add the remaining ingredients.  Serve with jicama tacos or cut up veggies, or with eggs,
