Fresh Guacamole Please!
By Cheryl L. McClure
How's your guacamole? We love it fresh and feel so lucky when we get avacados from the store and cut them at the RIGHT time!! Sometimes they are too hard, sometimes too soft. But wow, when we make a good batch it's so tasty!
I like to halve my avocados and then score them while they're in the shell, then scoop them out.
One of the things I like to do is add essential oils to my recipe. We live out in the country making a trip to the grocery store, impractical. If I'm growing cilantro, I have it made though! Otherwise, Vitality Cilantro essential oil is the perfect match to flavor my guacamole. I also use Vitality Lemon and Vitality Lime essential oils. Usually a drop or two is enough for two or three avocados but you can start with one drop of each and go from there. As shown below, I make a little well in the center after it's all mashed up, add the lemon juice and then the drops of essential oils. Mix well, season and you're set!
You'd be surprised at the line of Vitality essential oils Young Living produces. They are dietary and can be used in cooking. You can read more on my personal Young Living exclusive website, Nature at its Best.

TIP
A tip I learned for leftovers: Put your leftover guacamole in a smaller container. Seal the top of it with water. Yes! Add a thin layer of cool purified water to the top before securing the lid and placing in the fridge. It will seal off the air that makes it turn dark brown. When you get it out the next day just pour off the water and mix. I do this when I make a large batch and know we won't eat it all the first time we sit down for lunch.
Here's the recipe:
3 avocados smashed up with a potato masher
1 or 2 jalapenos minced
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1-2 drops Cilantro Vitality essential oils
1-2 drops Lime Vitality essential oils
1-2 drops Lemon Vitality essential oils
Salt and Pepper to taste
Handful of chopped cilantro if you have it
Add chopped tomatoes too, if you like that
Mash chilled avocados and add minced jalopenos.
Make a well in the center of mixture and add lemon juice, Vitality essential oils and season with salt and pepper.
Mix together and add chopped cilantro and tomatoes
Now it's ready to serve!
