OLIO Guacamole

Name: OLIO Guacamole
Cuisine: British
Ingredients: 2 medium or 1 large, ripe avocado, mashed (did you know you can put an avocado that's just achieved perfect ripeness to the touch in the fridge, where it will last for many more days then if left out in the open?); Equal quantity to the avocado of very finely diced chopped vegetables - whatever needs eating, be it carrots, celery, radishes, courgettes, sugar snap peas, broccoli stem…be creative!; 1 small red or white onion, finely diced; 1 medium tomato, chopped (or a handful of quartered cherry tomatoes); Handful shredded or finely chopped cilantro; 1/2 fresh lime, juiced (or lemon or orange, depending on what you have going); 1 diced jalapeno (leave the seeds in if you like it hot); 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

The word 'OLIO' means 'a miscellaneous collection of things', and this principle is applied to just about anything I cook in the kitchen (with the exception perhaps of a Victoria sponge or other cake, requiring an element of precision!). I like to make Guacamole in the OLIO fashion - crunchy, creamy, delicious, and totally random. Not only is it healthier and more filling, it's a great way to use up spare veg knocking around the kitchen.
