Great Snack

[Taco Junkie]

I think even when salsa is bad, it's still pretty good. Unlike Guacamole which can be great or truly awful, IMO.

I've had some pretty bad salsas. Usually some mass produced over processed crap. And some guac's that'd were


Now a simple way to make a great guac is to use ripe avocados (squeeze them just a bit lengthwise and they should give a little but not be squishy). Scoop out the cados into a bowl and add salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste. Squeeze a little fresh lime in. Then I add my favorite salsa - it has tomatoes, onions, peppers and makes mashing easier - I use one Tbsp of salsa for each avocado I used (3 cados = 3 Tbsp of salsa). Mash it up. If it's too hot you can add more avocado or a bit of sour cream (some folks don't want any dairy in their guac as it spoils faster especially when left out). If it's a big batch and not spicy enough I'll add an extra Tbsp of salsa. Chill for 2 hours then serve. You get a salsa that has great texture and color, is fresh and cool but brings a little heat on the back end.
