Super Easy Guacamole
When I was younger, I wouldn't have touched guacamole with a 10-foot pole. Now, I eat it nearly every day. Sometimes I go gourmet and whip up a big bowl of Guacamole with a Little Kick. But most of the time I make this simple recipe, which takes minutes to prepare.

Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit (just gently squeeze till it pops out). Use a large spoon to scoop the fruit into a medium-sized bowl. Add the lime juice and salt. Mash with a fork to desired consistency.

- The trick to perfect guacamole is ripe avocados. Check for ripeness by gently pressing the outside of the avocado. If there is no give, the avocado is not ready yet and will not taste good. If there is a lot of give, the avocado is ripe. Beware of too much softness, though, because that usually means the avocado may be over ripe and won’t taste good.
