Summer is coming and there's nothing better than fresh guacamole.  Pair this recipe with your favorite corn chips (my favorite is from Garden Fresh Salsa Company) and enjoy!!

 The Best Guacamole Ever submitted by Cathy

  3 Avocados, mashed (see link below for how to choose the perfect avocado)

  1/2 smaller sized vidalia onion, finely chopped

  1 clove garlic, minced

  1 firm, ripe Roma tomato, chopped

  1 lime (juiced) roll it around on the counter first to "get the juices flowing"

  2-3 tbsp. cilantro, finely chopped

  Salt and pepper to taste (avocado's love salt so be generous)

Just mix everything in a bowl, mashing with a fork until it is as smooth as you prefer.  Always peel and add avocado last to  avoid it turning brown too quickly.
