Steps:
- Remove the little nub of stem that is still usually lodged at the top of each avocado. Cut each avocado in half by slicing straight down through that spot where the stem was attached, until you reach the pit, then rotating the knife all the way around the pit. Twist the 2 halves apart, then scoop out the pits. With a spoon, scoop out the soft flesh from the skins, collecting it in a large bowl as you go. Coarsely mash with the spoon (or you can use an old-fashioned potato masher or large fork).
- Gently stir the salsa into the avocado mixture, along with the cilantro. Taste and season with salt. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface and refrigerate until you're ready to serve. (Not only will the guacamole improve if made 1/2 hour or so before serving, but also it will maintain its fresh look longer if served cold.) Scoop into a decorative bowl, garnish with cilantro sprigs and you're ready to set it out for your guests to enjoy.
TANGY DELICIOUS GUACAMOLE
Guacamole is one of my favorite Mexican foods. This recipe calls for slightly more garlic and hot pepper than most I have found. I love the rich, soft buttery flavor and texture of ripe avocados underscored with the pungency of garlic and heat of jalapeno, but if you want to reduce or omit these ingredients, by all means, do. Cilantro would also lend itself well to this recipe, if you like it. It tastes like soap to me. :) You can also omit some of the flavor blending time, if you must. I look for the smaller, thin-skinned, bumpy, almost black avocados. Forget about finding ripe ones in the supermarket; buy in advance and let them ripen at home. When they feel very soft and almost fragile to the touch, they are perfect. I suggest blanching the tomatoes and peeling them to soften their texture just slightly, but this is an optional step. Guacamole is a great addition to any Mexican appetizer or entree. It's also a wonderful dip for veggies and chips, a spread for sandwiches, or an addition to salads. Avocados are very fatty (something they share with a lot of great tasting things), but they are very high in the so-called "good" monounsaturated fats.

TANGY GUACAMOLE
A refreshing lemon/limey guacamole recipe that is neither too spicy nor too tangy. Great for someone who cannot handle too much spice or heat. The lemon/lime mixture will keep the avocado from browning and give it a refreshing tart/tangy taste. This is a slight variation from a recipe a Texan friend shared with me. Great with tortilla chips. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: The riper the avocados, the creamier and more flavorful your guacamole will be. Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color and yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your guacamole the best flavor. If possible, use freshly squeezed lime juice, chopped cilantro, and diced onions.
- Don't over-mash the avocados: Over-mashing the avocados will make your guacamole mushy. Instead, use a fork or potato masher to gently mash the avocados until they are just combined.
- Season to taste: Guacamole is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Add more salt, pepper, or lime juice to taste.
- Serve immediately: Guacamole is best served immediately after it is made. However, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
Guacamole is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed with a variety of foods. It is a healthy and flavorful addition to any party or gathering. With these tips, you can make the perfect guacamole every time.
