Guacamole

  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon or lime juice
  • 2 firm, ripe avocados (they should give slightly when gently squeezed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 Tablespoons minced red onion
  • Cayenne pepper
Place lemon or lime juice in a medium-sized bowl.
Cut avocados in half, remove pits and scoop flesh into the bowl.
Use a fork to slowly mash the avocado into the juice, adding
salt as you go. When avocado reaches the desired consistency
(and that could well include a few lumps), stir in onion and add
cayenne to taste. Serve at room temperature or cold.
