Holy Guacamole!

It's hard to go wrong with guacamole if you start with fresh ingredients, don't add too many different flavors, and don't overmix. I like to keep my guac a little on the chunky side, not mashed.

This was a spur-of-the-moment dish that I hadn't planned for, so I didn't have any cilantro or lime juice on hand, but it was still incredible.

I used fresh, flavorful avocados and strawberry tomatoes from Sosio's at Pike Place. The avocados are possibly the best I've ever tasted and just as the guy at Sosio's described - not stringy or discolored.

Ingredients
1 large avocado, scooped out
6-8 strawberry or cherry tomatoes, minced
1/4 onion, finely minced
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 small Thai chili pepper, finely minced
Maldon's Sea Salt

Mix all ingredients carefully with a small spoon. Do not overmix unless you like your guac more mashed.

Serve with tortilla chips or rice crackers and enjoy!
