Avocado size and prices vary by location. Generally, we like getting ours from Sam’s Club or Central Market. Sams always has a good price on the larger ones, but sometimes it’s hard finding them ripe there. Ripe avocados give slightly when you gently squeeze them, but aren’t totally mushy. (Tip: To ripen, put them in a Paper sandwich bag on countertop for a couple of days.) Here’s our quick and easy recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 large ripe avocado
• 2 Teaspoons of lemon juice (Fresh or RealLemon) to taste
• 1 Teaspoon of garlic salt (more or less to taste)

Chop and Mash the avocado, mix in lemon juice and garlic salt! Complicated Huh! Ok, here’s a slightly more refined recipe. We’ve made it too, but we tend to go for the simplicity.
