Holy Guacamole!

Hey there... Sorry I haven't taken to my blog in a couple of days, prior commitments have inexcusably taken me away from this ole thing and for that I deeply apologize. But she's back... and with a spicy vengeance too! Today's recipe comes courtesy of my garden, it's a guacamole with a kick, and as always, simple to make but impressive to taste! So impress your friends, burn your enemies (but what a way to go!) but whatever you do, make sure you check out and enjoy today's summer recipe...

Holy Guacamole

Ingredients
2 Ripe Haas Avocados
2 Teaspoons Mayonaise
1 Lime (to use zest and juice)
1 and 1/2 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
1 Large Jalapeno Pepper (this can vary depending on desired spice level)
1 Medium-sized Tomato

Directions
1. Chop desired amount of jalapeno pepper FINELY (nobody wants a huge chunk of that stuff!)
2. Seed and Slice tomato into thin strips then dice these strips in 1/2-1/4 inch pieces (if you leave the seeds and insides of the tomato you will find your guacamole to be WAY too watery)
2. Scoop out the green good stuff in the avocado (don't miss any!) removing the pit and placing in medium sized bowl for mashing
3. Add mayo and mash! (Great to get out any anger or stress you may have been harboring during the day...)
4. Zest lime and add to avocado mash, taking care not to zest more than the green outer skin (the white part is bitter so stop before zesting that!)
5. Knock lime a few times against countertop to release juices, then cut in half and juice over avocado mixture
6. Add garlic powder and mix until combined
7. Add tomatoes and jalapeno until fully combined throughout
8. Find some delish chips and DIP!!!

Hope you love it as much as I did,
