Guacamole and Salsa

The guacamole and salsa served with Chicken Verde from previous post. It's super easy to make and can be customized to your own liking.


Fresh Guacamole
What:
- 1 avocado
- 1 small tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped onions
- 2 jalapenos/ serrano chilies, chopped
- pinch of cumin
- lime juice
- few sprigs of cilantro, chopped
- salt and pepper
- pinch of sugar

How:
- Scooped out and cut avocado into chunks, transfer into a bowl. Mashed with fork until desired consistency. (We like ours chunkier so I did not mash it to very smooth guac)
- Fold in the rest of ingredients. Mix gently. It can be serve immediately, but taste so much better if being refrigerated for couple hours before serving.

Fresh Tomato Salsa
What:
- 2 plum tomatoes, diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 jalapenos, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup white onion, finely chopped
- 1 green onion, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- salt and pepper

How:
- Mix everything together. It can be serve immediately, but taste so much better if being refrigerated for couple hours before serving.
- Vik mixed it up with salsa verde, hence, the watery looking salsa in the picture.
