Cool Tip: Holy Guacamole! ... Made Easy!

Now you've made some great Salsa Fresca, but why stop there? With very little additional effort, you can make killer guacamole! Here's all you need to do:

  • Cut a ripe avocado lengthwise and twist it apart into two halves.

  • Carefully, but firmly, hit the avocado pit with the blade of your knife so that it is lodged in the pit. Wiggle the pit, remove it from the avocado and discard (unless you want to stick toothpicks in it, suspend it in a jar of water and grow an avocado tree... but that's never worked for us!)

  • Scoop the flesh out.of the skin. (We like to do this with the avocado slicer, because it starts to breakdown the avocado at the same time it removes it from the skin.)
  • Mash the avocado. Then stir in a couple of tablespoons of salsa fresca, taste, and add some additional salt and lime if you think it needs it.
