Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on our blessings and gather with family and friends. While everyone arrives, you can prepare a delicious appetizer to enjoy while waiting for dinner—Guacamole for Thanksgiving. You can also serve some cured meats and cheese, but I recommend adding guacamole to your Thanksgiving menu. It's a fresh recipe that everyone loves, and it goes great with toasted bread or raw vegetables cut into sticks. Since we're in San Francisco, I suggest trying California avocados—they're the secret ingredient that makes this recipe a hit. Make sure they're ripe, flavorful, and as fresh as possible.

This recipe is very simple. Cut the avocados in half, twist to separate, and remove the pits. Cut into pieces and mash the avocados with the lime or lemon juice using a fork. Season, then mix in the chopped tomatoes, onions, and a bit of finely chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
