This guacamole comes from The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook. It may not be authentic, but to me, it's perfection. Scale it up or down, depending on the size of your crowd. It makes about 3 cups. Pair it with a pitcher of these and you really can't go wrong. Happy {early} Cinco de Mayo!!
Ina's Amazing Guacamole
Ingredients
4 ripe Haas avocados
3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
8 dashes Tabasco sauce (optional, I leave it out)
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 medium tomato, seeded and finely chopped
Directions
1. Halve and pit the avocados. Scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add the lemon juice, Tabasco (if using), onion, garlic and salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
2. Using a sharp knife, slice through the avocados in the bowl until they are finely diced. Smoosh it up with the back of a spoon if you like it a little more creamy. Add the tomatoes and gently toss to combine. Adjust your salt and pepper as needed.
