Guacamole

I got: Avocados, Carrots and Radicchio – what a mix.

Living in Los Angeles in an Avocado-rich world gives us all kind of Guacamoles, most of them VERY good. The making is simple but some of Avocado-mixes taste better than others. I got my try this time. It's my first Guacamole. 





Cut avocados in half, removed seed. Scooped out avocado from the peel, mashed the meet with a fork. Added small-diced onions and tomatoes, salt and pepper, juice of a ½ a lemon, some cilantro and pepper flakes.

I cleaned carrots and cut them in smaller pieces as decoration and as choice to eat instead the normal tortilla chips. 

Avocado: is a tree from Mexico, introduced to California in the 19th Century. About 95% of the US avocado production is located in Southern California.
Avocados have more potassium than bananas, are rich in Vitamin B, E and K.
Carrots: rich in b-carotene turning into Vitamin A in our body.
Radicchio: Italian cousin of Chicory.
