Guacamole dip*


2-3 medium avocados
1 T Fresh lime juice or a good squeeze from half a lime
1/2 t fresh minced garlic-no garlic powder or bottled minced garlic-use the fresh stuff!
2 T finely minced onion
2 heaping spoonfuls of sour cream (appx. 1/4 C)
Salt to taste
3-4 T finely diced tomatoes

Scoop out avocado from skins and mash in a bowl (I used my whisk to mash it and it worked really well). Add remaining ingredients and combine well. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. The recipe recommends making it at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors combine.

(apparently the citiric acid in the lime juice helps avocados keep their color but there is also an enzyme found in sour cream that is even better. It not only adds a nice creamy texture and flavor, but also keep the guac looking fresh for several DAYS!
