Guacamole

Avocados are in season, so I made a simple guacamole.  This one is flavored entirely by spices, kind of like those packets in the market.  I use less salt.

The lemon juice is more a preservative than an ingredient, which is why I suggest squeezing an actual lemon instead of using bottled juice, but I liked the sourness it added.  You can substitute lime.

2 very ripe avocados
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp onion salt
1/4 tsp granulated garlic
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp chili powder
1 tsp fresh lemon juice

1.  Slice avocados in half and scoop out flesh into a bowl.  Mash with a fork.

2.  Work in seasonings, taste, and adjust if necessary.  Squeeze lemon juice into bowl and work into dip.

3.  Serve immediately, or store in refrigerator with plastic wrap touching any surface of the dip which would be exposed to air.
