How To Make Guacamole

Here's how to make guacamole:

2 avocados
1/8 tsp. granulated garlic (equivalent of one clove of garlic)
1 small lime
1 tomatillo
1/4 onion

Makes about: 1 1/2 cups

When Is An Avocado Ripe?

• Green and hard when unripe
• Ripens on the counter in 3 to 6 days
• Black and yielding when ripe
• A soft avocado is overripe

Peeling and Pitting Avocados

• Use a sharp knife to slice through the skin. Make a deep cut lengthwise around the avocado.

• Pull apart the halves of the avocado. One half will contain a large pit.

• Hold that half with one hand, stick the knife into the pit, and draw out the pit.

• Remove the peel from each half. It should easily pull away from a ripe avocado.
