Simple Guacamole (serves 2-3)

Mexican food often gets a bad reputation for being stodgy, but with its fresh flavour of lime and chilli this cuisine provides some great ideas of fresh and healthy summer eating. This simple guacamole is a great way to add an extra zing to your meals.
Ingredients
·         1 avocado
·         1 large or 2 small tomatoes
·         1 lime
Method
1.       Remove the avocado flesh by splitting it into 2 pieces and removing the stone, then scoop out the green insides. Chop the avocado into a fine dice, and add to a bowl.
2.       Finely chop the tomato and add to the avocado.
3.       Juice the lime and add this to the vegetables, making sure that they are all coated in the juice; the acidity of the lime will ensure that the vibrant green of the avocado is preserved.
4.       This can then be served alongside a Mexican fajita feast, as an addition to a barbeque or simply piled onto a slice of toast.
