1 medium RIPE tomato, diced
1/2 or 1 clove garlic, minced fine

Here is how you make Authentic Guacamole!:

*Remember the high fat in this recipe comes from the avocados which is a healthy fat...Remove avocado meat and place in a bowl. Mash with a potato masher or fork until squashed but containing lots of avocado chunks at least thumbnail size. Do NOT over-mash the avocados! Dice the tomatoes to about 1/2 inch pieces. Combine all ingredients, stirring gently* It is important that one does NOT substitue garlic powder or dried minced onion for the fresh ones called for in the recipe. *To make good, flavorful guacamole it is very important that you use the blackish, lumpy-skinned Haas avocados such as they grow in California. The large, green, smooth-skinned Florida variety are watery and grainy and have less flavor. Choose slightly soft, black, ripe Haas avocados. Best to buy a couple extra in case there are a few bad spots on the avocados; sometimes a hard or fibrous place develops which you will not want to include in your guacamole.
