Happy Kentucky Derby, May the 4th be with You, and Cinco de Mayo weekend. It’s a beautiful Spring day and we’ve been enjoying the sun and warmth. My many seedlings are growing and I am getting antsy to put them in the ground. I know it’s too early and we are in May when anything can happen. I will wait until May 15th - maybe.
I am experimenting with straw bale gardening this year. I took a class from fellow Master Gardener Cris Phillips and I am currently “conditioning” my bales. The plan is to plant eggplant and peppers in them. More to come on the experiment as the Summer unfolds.
Guacamole is a favorite dip around here second only to hummus. In honor of Cinco de Mayo, This is an easy and delicious guac recipe, which takes about 15 minutes from the start to your first chip dip.
Ingredients
3 avocados, ripe
½ small yellow onion, finely diced
2 Roma tomatoes, diced
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 jalapeño pepper, seeds removed and finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 lime, juiced
½ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions:
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop into a mixing bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork and make it as chunky or smooth as you’d like.
Add the remaining ingredients and stir together. Give it a taste test and add more salt or lime juice if needed.
Serve the guacamole with tortilla chips.
