Super Bowl Sunday is right around the corner, just a week from today. Guacamole would be a great addition to your spread if you’re hosting the big game, and would also be great if you’re asked to bring something to a party you’re attending.

This guacamole recipe is sure to please and so easy to make.

Starting with five large avocados, remove the pits and scoop them out of the shell, Cut the avocados into large chunks and put them in a bowl. To the bowl, add the zest and juice of two limes.

Next, add half of a diced red onion, 3 large cloves of garlic – minced, kosher salt, and red pepper flakes. Mash everything together (I used a potato masher). Add a couple tablespoons of cilantro and mix into the guacamole.

If you’re not serving your guacamole right away, place a few of the nuts back onto the guacamole and set the plastic wrap directly on top of the guacamole. I learned from someone many years ago that if you place the nuts on top of the guacamole until you are ready to serve it, it helps to keep the dip from turning brown. I’ve done this ever since and it works quite well. Remove the nuts before serving.

Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!
