By mschweickert

Ingredients

• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice, (about 2 limes)
• 1 serrano chile, minced (ribs and seeds removed for less heat, if desired)
• 2 ripe avocados, pitted, peeled, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 mango, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/4-inch pieces (below)
• Coarse salt

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

To prepare mango: Hold mango with a paper towel (to avoid slippage). Using a vegetable peeler, remove skin and discard.

With a knife, slice off wide, flat part of fruit on both sides of pit. Trim flesh from pit (discard pit).

Place parts cut side down; slice in half horizontally. Cut crosswise into thin strips; cut strips lengthwise into pieces.

To make guacamole: In a medium bowl, combine avocados, mango, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and serrano chile; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Fold gently, leaving texture chunky.
