4 avocados
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 sweet red onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 red chiles, seeded and finely chopped
4 tablespoons olive oil , divided
Juice of 1 lime
Salt and pepper to taste
Pinch of cayenne, for garnish
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the seeds.
Scoop out the meat into a medium-size bowl and mash with a fork. (Do not process in a food processor or blender.)
Gently stir in the garlic, red onion, jalapeno pepper, red chiles, 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, and lime juice. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer to a serving bowl, if necessary.
Drizzle the remainder of the olive oil over the Guacamole and sprinkle with cayenne for presentation. Serve immediately. Makes 3 cups.
Note: Guacamole Dip does not keep well, but adding a tablespoon of lemon juice helps preserve the color.
