Of all the guacamole and salsa recipes I've tried, these are my favorites. Bonus: this guac recipe is also the easiest I've ever made!
GUACAMOLE
Ripe avocadoes
Garlic powder and salt to taste
Mash ingredients together. That's it.
I sometimes add a squeeze of lime juice if I have limes on hand. But be careful - it's easy to get the guac too soupy, especially if your avocados are really soft. Also, when adding salt, keep in mind any chips you might be serving it with. I use an organic blue corn chip usually, and they're not salty. But with other brands, I'd not add as much salt. If not serving right away, place in serving bowl and lay plastic wrap directly onto guacamole, pressing out air.
SALSA
This recipe comes from Vita-Mix Corporation. It has earned my husband quite the reputation for fresh salsa. We like it with organic blue corn chips, on quesadillas, as a dip for grilled cheese sandwiches, and I even use it, if there's any leftover, topping fresh greens as a salad when he needs a lunch to take to work. Here's the recipe, adjusted for making by hand, as opposed to in a Vita-Mix.
3 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/4 to 1 medium onion, minced
1/2 to 1 small can chopped green chilis
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon sugar or xylitol
1 tablespoon vinegar
Mix thoroughly and serve as soon as possible for maximum freshness and nutrition.
