Having grown up in California with abundant avocados, the mashed fruit with a touch of salt often made a a regular spread for toast in lieu of butter. Diana Kennedy's guacamole recipe is a classic, but a Mexican friend taught me a quick and easy way to make enough for one or two— Scoop the avocado out of its shell into a flat bowl and mash it with a fork, salt it lightly, and fold in a tablespoon or two of fresh or bottled salsa. A squeeze of lime doesn't hurt.

Love the short cut! Don't tell Diana Kennedy. I thought her recipe worth investigating for its its lack of lime - an ingredient I'd always believed essential.

At the Barrio Café in Phoenix they make great guacamole to order in a molcajete tableside. The garnish is pomegranate arils! Delicious!
