Guacamole Recipe

Reyna makes very good guacamole - and there is a secret "ingredient" that she uses to help it from turning dark so fast. Here is the recipe:

3 avacadoes, fully ripe and soft
2 T minced onion flakes, or to taste
1/8 t. oregano
1/8 t. cumin
garlic powder - just a couple of tiny shakes
salt, to taste
juice of 1/2 a lime
1 c green salsa - more or less to your liking
water - make it as thin or thick as you like

Mix everything together in the blender, just until blended, but not pureed.

Here is the secret - put the avacado pits in the guacamole and it doesn't go dark! Maybe this isn't a secret to everyone else, but it was a revelation to me. Also, try using jicama cut into strips for dipping. It is so good! Let me know what you think if you try it.
