Hassle-free Guacamole

Today I may have discovered the biggest shortcut for guacamole ever. Sure, guacamole isn't incredibly time consuming but dragging all those ingredients out & having to keep tasting to make sure you get the proportions correct is just annoying when you just need a little bit. This is also a great way to make the guacamole fresh right before a party so it doesn't start turning brown & gross.

You really only need 2 ingredients! (or 2 if you are SUPER lazy)
-avocado
-lemon juice (optional... tastes fine without it, I think it tastes a little better WITH it)
-drumroll please....... Ranch Dip Mix (powder packet)
...THAT'S IT.

Just mash up the avocados (or if you're making a larger batch, stick it in a food processor) & add 1/2 teaspoon of the Ranch Dip Mix for every 1/2 avocado. You might want to start with 1/4 teaspoon if you have a smaller avocado & don't want to make it too strong. I had a pretty big one with a tiny pit so I used 1/2 teaspoon & it worked perfectly. If you like a little bit of the citrus to even it out, add 2 drops of lemon juice for every 1/2 avocado you use. The lemon juice also helps preserve it so if you plan on leaving it out for awhile, I'd definitely suggest using it! However, if you're out, don't sweat it.

So if you want a personal serving, use 1/2 avocado, 1/2 teaspoon of Ranch Dip Mix & 2 drops of lemon juice.



That was almost too easy. I might end up eating way too much guacamole now...
