Name: Perfect Picnic Guacamole
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 10 min
Yield: 4
Ingredients: 1 avocado (stone and skin removed); 1 spring onion (finely chopped); 1/2 a small chilli; 2 tomatoes (de-seeded and finely chopped); 1/2 lime; handful of coriander leaves (chopped)

Sometimes you want something a little different from the standard sandwich when you decide to have a picnic. Perfect Picnic Guacamole is a simple recipe, not too much work but something delicious all the same. Guacamole definitely fits the bill and avocados are really good just now. It does annoy me when they are marked as ‘ripe and ready to use’ and then it takes a week for them to soften. However, this one was perfect with no bruising and it mashed down in a really pleasing manner.

Combined with some pitta bread and salad, the Perfect Picnic Guacamole becomes a feast. To transfer your guacamole to the picnic location, just put it in a plastic box and pack the bread and salad separately. You can spread the guacamole onto the pita bread, or tear it off and dip it into the soft mashed avocado. Take lots of napkins or kitchen towels to wipe your fingers and mouth after your feast.

Guacamole is also appropriate for The Spice Trail where are off on a ‘Beach Barbeque’, guacamole is a great accompaniment to a barbeque, imagine barbequed steak or chicken in a tortilla with salad and guacamole, delicious!

I love your photo Janice, it's beautiful. Love love love guacamole too… I remember being in a restaurant in LA where they came to your table with the avocado and opened it in front of you and made the fresh guacamole… it was wonderful!… so fresh and tasty and you're so right, simple but delicious!

Thanks Dom, I like the sound of having the guac made in front of you in the restaurant.

The perfect picnic accompaniment- your lovely recipe is a long, long way from my first introduction to guacamole in one of those self-assemble home fajita kits!

Thanks Kate. Yes, fresh guacamole is a long way from the kit versions!
