Soft Guacamole or Avocado Salad

[Soybean 4]

Even though all guacamole is "soft," I find some foods challenging with my band, including tomatoes. I make this very simple guacamole or avocado salad which goes down easily. Sometimes I can eat chips with it.

1 or 2 ripe avocados

1 or 2 limes, to taste

1 tbs of red onion, finely chopped

salt to taste

optional:

1/4 small fresh jalepeno pepper, finely chopped

small hand full of fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Do NOT use a food processor for any of these ingredients if you can avoid it. Peel avocados and quarter them. Combine with lime juice, starting with 1/2 a lime and the onions. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Mash with a fork gently so the avocado is still chunky. Taste and add more lime juice and salt as needed. The goal is to keep the avocado pieces chunky but mixed thoroughly with the ingredients so don't over-mash. Last, gently mix in the cilantro and jalepeno. You can add tomatoes if you like.
