Two for One! – Easy Pico de Gallo and Guacamole Recipe

IMG

I love fresh pico de gallo, especially easy pico de gallo. Whenever I visit Mexico I eat it by the bucket. No joke. I have been making it at home for a few years and have recently sped things up by using a small Kitchen Aid food processor. Although the chunky style is my preference, the time it takes to chop all the ingredients by hand is not worth the effort now that I have found a way for a quick 2 for 1 salsa and guacamole recipe. Efficient!

Read on.


Before you Start:

Prep time: 5 min
Serves: A lot. Makes 3 cups salsa and ~2 cups guac.

1/2 Cilantro bunch

Note: To get a little extra life out of your guacamole squeeze a bit of lime on top before covering. Be sure to cover as tightly to the guac as possible to minimize its contact with air.

    I was a bit hesitant about using the blender but with limited time it worked out perfectly!

    Yummy…now I must stop eating so there is some left for lunch company.
