National Garlic Day Guacamole

Hey! Did you know that it's National Garlic Day today? I didn't either, but I think I'll do some cooking later. Or maybe just make some guacamole! I LOVE guacamole, and I make it with TONS of garlic. Here's my recipe:

• 3 ripe avocadoes, mashed
• juice of 1 lemon
• 2 or 3 cloves minced garlic (or 4 or 5 cloves of minced garlic--this is National Garlic Day, after all!)
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/4 tsp seasoned salt
• 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes (or your favorite salsa)
• 1/2 cup chopped cucumber (I cut into long slices and remove the seeds first)

Mix all of the above, then refrigerate for a few hours so the flavors can mix. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips or use to top burritos, etc. Leftovers should be refrigerated.

Happy Garlic Day!
