One great thing about having ripe avocados… it’s time to make guacamole!  It’s so easy to put together (Kay helps with the mashing), takes only 5 minutes to prep and is a healthy, dairy-free and gluten-free dip for chips.

Ingredients:

1. 2-3 ripened avocados, peeled and pitted
2. 1 lime, halved
3. 1 garlic clove, minced
4. salt and pepper
5. 1/4 tomato, diced (optional, my child avoids the tomatoes)

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with a fork
2. Stir in minced garlic
3. Squeeze in the lime juice
4. Salt and pepper to taste
5. Mix thoroughly
6. Garnish with diced tomatoes
7. Immediately dip in tortilla chips!
