Easy Guacamole

Because I'm working at eating healthier, and because I've read so many articles on how healthy avacados are for you, I decided to purchase several when they were on sale. I've never bought avacados before this and found myself not knowing how to use them. Where to go for recipes and ideas? Why, Pinterest, of course!

I was inspired by The Endless Meal to make some guacamole. According to her blog, you only need avacados, limes, garlic and salt to make guacamole. All other ingredients are optional.

I've had guacamole in the past and wondered if you don't have to acquire a taste for it since I'm not that huge a fan. But, I already purchased the avacados and only ate one so needed to use four more up. I started by skinning and halving three avacados.

I happened to have half a leftover lime in my refrigerator, but because I needed juice from a whole lime, rather than squeeze out the juice, I decided to use the entire half lime.

I removed the seeds from the avacados and placed them along with the lime into my food processor. I then added 3/4 teaspoon of minced garlic and 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke. The ends of a tomato were left from dinner so I threw them into the mix, as well. And processed.

I scraped the contents into a covered container and I'm already done. Easy!

How did I like it? Hmmm ... not crazy about it. Maybe I added too much liquid smoke or maybe it was just missing an ingredient, like sugar. LOL. Or maybe, I just don't have that acquired taste for avacado after all. I may have to keep working on that and update you all. Now, I just have to figure out a way to use it up. Any ideas?
