How to Make Guacamole
- Prepare the ingredients and add everything to a medium sized bowl, except for the lime juice and salt.
- Using a fork, mash the avocado and combine everything into a paste. Work on it until the avocado mash turns into a paste and combines evenly with all the other ingredients (using a creamy avocado is highly advised).
- Add salt and lime juice, and mix everything slowly until the paste becomes creamy (see my pictures).
- That was it! Serve with my suggestion meal below;

Notes
Feel free to upgrade this plateau with your favorite extras. Things like nuts and seeds, tomatoes, cucumbers, apple slices, other types of olives, or maybe pickled vegetables. Which one is your favorite?
We are cooking the broccoli by boiling it in a pot over high heat. Alternatively, you could use the steaming method but make sure to adjust cooking time as needed.
Don’t throw away the water used for boiling the broccoli - you can drink it as soup since it retains valuable nutrients and tastes amazing.
