Classic Guacamole

Guacamole is the most classic, delicious example of how avocados are the best food in the world. No, really. As an avid lover of avocados, I absolutely love this recipe. My classic guacamole is a perfect combination of ripe avocados, sweet tomatoes, red onion, spicy jalapenos, and a simple dressing to finish it off.
The secret is in the salt and the acid, it is the balance of this dish/salad that makes it so unique and yummy! The process is incredibly simple, you just mash up the avocados, add the other components, and finish it off with olive oil, salt, pepper and lemon juice.
