Guacamole

This traditional Mexican avocado dip, now an international favourite, makes a quick and easy appetizer for guests.

Ingredients

• 120 g (2) medium roma tomatoes, halved
• 20 g (1 cup) fresh cilantro leaves
• 80 g (1) small onion, peeled, halved
• 1 lime, peeled
• 2 teaspoons salt, optional
• 540 g (4) avocados, pitted, peeled

Directions

1. With a peeler or paring knife, remove the peel and white pith from the fruit, leaving just the flesh.
2. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
3. Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to Variable 4-8 depending on desired consistency, using the tamper to press ingredients toward the blades. Blend for 15-20 seconds.

Notes

For a chunky style guacamole pulse the ingredients or blend on a lower variable speed. For a smooth guacamole, blend on a higher variable speed.
