Guacamole
I make guacamole when I want something quick that makes a dish just that bit healthier and tastier. Simply a ripe avocado, some fresh herbs and you're done. It takes ten minutes and goes with just about everything.

Method
- Prepare the avocadosCut the avocados in half around the stone and twist the halves apart. Remove the stone and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Put it in a bowl and mash roughly with a fork.
- Cut the tomatoQuarter the tomato, remove the seeds and cut the flesh into small cubes.
- Chop the onion and herbsPeel the red onion and cut it into small cubes. Wash the parsley and coriander, shake dry and finely chop the leaves.
- Mix everythingAdd the tomato, red onion, parsley and coriander to the avocado. Pour the lime juice over it; this adds flavour and keeps the avocado nice and green.
- Season and serveAdd salt and chilli powder to taste. Want extra heat? A pinch of cayenne pepper does the job. Taste and adjust where needed. Serve straight away.

About this recipe
Make this dip just before serving; guacamole tastes best fresh. A thin layer of lime juice on top helps if you want to keep it for a little while.
Lovely with the Mexican oven-baked rice and the sweet potato salad with beans.
