Guacamole

Making guacamole is really simple and tastes much much better than store bought. Guacamole is great as a side , in salad bowls, in wraps or sandwiches or as a dip with chips or toasted pitta bread. One thing to note about avocado is that it eventually goes black. Although making it in advance won't affect its taste too much, it will lose the green colour. So it is best to prepare the ingredients in advance but to cut the avocado and mix it with the rest of the ingredients just before serving.
