Guacamole (vegan)

Rach really wanted to try guacamole, so we got some avocados from the St. Lawrence Market.  To pick a good avocado, feel around the stem.  It should give a little, but not mushy.  Make sure you get the HAAS avocados.  This is naturally creamy and the dip is vegan.  If you garnish with sour cream, then not.  Avocados have the good fat we need and are high in fibre.

You will need:

• 2 avocados
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 2 tbsp. onion, chopped
• Juice of half of lemon
• Salt and pepper
• Sour cream and salsa for garnish (optional)
• Chips or cut up veggies for dipping

Wash and cut the avocados in half.  Scoop up the inside into a bowl and mash.

Add olive oil, onion, lemon juice.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  That's all there is to it.

If you're using the sour cream and salsa, just use a little dollop of each.

Cover any leftovers to minimize the guacamole turning dark.
