Ingredient Substitution Guide

1. Scoop out the avocado after removing the stone, with a spoon. Gently mash your avocado with a spoon or fork.

2. Add your diced vegetables to it and mix.

3. Add fresh lime juice.

4. Mix all ingredients together, again, and add a pinch of salt for flavour.

Serving suggestion:

Serve with tortilla chips as they make the perfect accompaniment to your guacamole.
