This is my favorite condiment! It is basically a chunkier version of guacamole. It is yummy on just about everything. It can be a dip, but it shines as a topping for fish, chicken or eggs. I even put it on our homemade pizza (after it comes out of the oven) to make it more off the beaten path. Ingredients:
2 hass avocadoes |
1 roma tomato |
1 green onion (scallion) |
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro (or more to taste) |
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (you can use lemon in a pinch) |
1 teaspoon cayenne, sauce can be adjusted to taste (i only use frank's or trappy's) |
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/4 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste |
Directions:
1. Scoop avocado out of skin and dice into 1/4 inch chunks.
2. Dice a ripe Roma tomato into 1/4 inch chunks and place into bowl with avocado.
3. Blend remaining ingredients into avocado-tomato mixture.
4. Serve with chips or use as a garnish on anything from grilled fish to chicken breasts to omelets.
5. NOTE: In a pinch I have used 2 tablespoons of my favorite salsa in the place of the tomato when I could not find any truly ripe tomatoes at the store.
6. Avocado Trick: If your avocados are not ripe enough, place them in a paper bag to accelerate the ripening process. Trick also works for bananas.
