Cilantro Lover's Guacamole

I do not care for avocados or typical guacamole, but I LOVE this recipe. Made today with fresh cilantro from Gorman Heritage Farm. Yum :) If you do not like cilantro, you will hate it--You have been warned.

 

1 ripe avocado
1 bunch fresh cilantro, washed, dried well, and chopped
1/2 - 1 clove garlic, minced
1 jalapeno, diced fine
juice of 1/2 lime (or more to taste)
kosher salt

Cut avocado in half, discard seed, scoop out flesh and put in mixing bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork. (Or, if you have a potato ricer, it will do quick work of mashing the avocado!) Mix in the cilantro, garlic, and jalapeno. Mix in the lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Taste and adjust salt and lime juice if desired. A bit of cayenne may also be added, if you want it spicier!
