Guacamole

4 ripe Haas avocados

3 T freshly squeezed lime juice (1-2 limes)

8 Dashes Hot sauce

1/2 c. small-diced red onion

1 large garlic clove, minced

1 tsp Kosher salt

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1 medium tomato, small diced

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh out of their shells into a large bowl. Immediately add the lime juice, tabasco, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper, and toss well. Using a sharp knife, slice through the avocados in the bowl until they are finely diced. Add the tomatoes. Mix well and taste for salt and pepper.

-This is also a Barefoot Contessa recipe. However, hers calls for lemon juice, but I've always used lime. Also, I tend to use a little less red onion than what this calls for (personal taste). This recipe is pretty easy to scale up for a larger crowd too.
