I made guacamole for 4th of July and the batch got nothing but rave reviews. While there are a million and one different recipes online, I doctored up the recipe below to made it my own. The secret? Jarred jalapenos, between the chunks and the juice it adds the perfect kick.

3 ripe avocados, diced (I prefer Haas avocados)

1/3 cup white onion, chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped

1 jalapeno, seeded and minced (if you prefer it spicier add 1.5-2 jalapenos)

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (or more if you like it limey which I do)

Salt to taste (be generous as salt really brings out the flavor of the avocados)

1. Halve and pit the avocados. Scoop out the flesh with a tablespoon into a mixing bowl. Dice and mash the avocados with a fork.

2. Add the remaining ingredients, fold everything together and mix gently.

3. Lay a piece of plastic wrap right on the surface of the guacamole so it doesn’t brown and refrigerate for about an hour before serving.
