one of the many foods i love are avocados. i could eat one every day! approximately once a week i have a craving for guacamole. instead of rushing out to my favorite taqueria down the street i decided i would make it myself. i've tried MANY recipes, but this is my favorite one from alice waters, 'the art of simple food.' you should all run out and get a copy of this cookbook. it's wonderful. the recipe is simple, but delicious. as my friend corinne says "make this and you will be the hit of every party!" you should try and see for yourself!
2 ripe avocados (cut in half and remove pits...I think this is pretty self explanatory :)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (this is about the juice from 1/2 of one lime)
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
salt
the recipe also calls for 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion, which we don't put in because we think it is delicious without!
you will want to try this. i recommend it with el milagro tortilla chips from whole foods. it just completes the perfection.

Avocados are great! Guacamole with my nachos is a must even if I know that they cause high blood pressure.
Another great thing to use them for is your hair! :)
Yummy! I love guacamole! I used to eat one a day in hoping to gain some weight. Avacado's are a healthy source of fat.
To add to your comment about the chips from Trader Joes... they carry some of the best chips around! I didn't know they caused high blood pressure or that you can use them for your hair. That's funny
