laurie's guacamole 
vegan + gluten-free

I grew up with a huge avocado tree in my backyard, but ironically never learned to make guacamole until a few years ago. Guacamole is now my responsibility at all family functions. The kids also use this in their after school microwave nachos.

3-4 ripe avocadoes
2-3 cloves garlic, very finely chopped
Cilantro
Hawaiian salt

1-2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped
¼ of a red onion, finely chopped
2 limes or 1 lemon

Mix everything with your hands in a bowl. Upon mixing, you will be made painfully aware of any small nicks or minor cuts that your hands may have, but it is well worth it to control the texture. Plus, it's kinda fun, and avocado is good for the skin.
