| 2 | Tbsp. | chopped fresh cilantro |
| 1/2 | lime, juiced (or to taste) | |

Instructions
- Cut the tomatoes in quarters. Remove inside pulp and seeds and discard. Finely dice the reserved tomatoes and drain before adding to a medium sized non-reactive mixing bowl.
- Add finely chopped scallions. (Use about half of the green part as well as the white part.)
- Add chopped cilantro.
- Cut the avocados in half and remove seeds. Then cut cris-crosses about 1/8 to1/4 inch apart while still inside the skin. When you scoop the avocado from the shells with a big spoon the avocados are already diced.
- Gently stir in lime juice, Salsa or jalapeños, salt and ground black pepper. Mix well but do not mash the avocados.
- Cover with cling wrap and push the wrap directly down onto the guacamole to prevent oxidation browning and chill for 6-8 hours before serving.
