The fresh flavor of homemade guacamole can't be beat! This simple avocado dip is creamy, zesty, and so deliciously fresh.

Ingredients

1 fresh lime (2 Tbsp juice, $0.25)

2 Roma tomatoes ($0.50)

1 jalapeño ($0.41)

¼ red onion ($0.26)

2 Tbsp fresh cilantro (chopped, $0.12*)

2 garlic cloves (minced, $0.06)

3 avocados (medium-sized (or 4 small) $3.00**)

½ tsp salt ($0.01***)

Instructions

1 Juice the lime. Finely dice the tomatoes, jalapeño (remove seeds), and red onion. Roughly chop the cilantro and mince the garlic.

2 Mash the avocados

3 Remove the peels and pits from the avocados. Place the avocados in a bowl, then mash them with a fork.

4 Add the diced tomato, onion, and jalapeño to the mashed avocados, along with the chopped cilantro, minced garlic, about 1 Tbsp of lime juice and ¼ tsp salt.

5 Stir the ingredients together, then taste the guacamole. Add more lime and salt to your liking. I usually end up adding about 2 Tbsp lime juice and ½ tsp salt total. Serve and enjoy!
