Yankee Guacamole

I know what you’re thinking – corn has no business in a guacamole – but trust me, it really adds a little crunch and touch of sweetness.

First, you’ll need to paste the garlic. Do this by first mincing it as fine as you can. Then sprinkle some kosher salt on it and with the back of your favorite chef’s knife, smoosh down on the little garlic cubes. Continue to do this for about five minutes and you’ll notice the garlic starting to turn into a little paste. You may need to sprinkle more salt on it.

Next, dice up the tomatoes and onions.

Carefully dice the avocados over a large mixing bowl. Mash them up a bit using a fork or even your potato masher. Mix in the tomatoes, garlic, and onion.

Juice the two limes directly into the mixture and add the canned corn. Stir again and taste. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Serve cold.

You can also add some fresh cilantro. I leave it out because I just don’t care for the taste of cilantro.

For a little spice, feel free to dice up a jalapeno (remove the seeds and ribs for less spice, leave them in for more).
