Guacamole Lettuce Salad


This really isn't a recipe, but it is a great idea (courtesy of Publix) for a wonderful side salad/dish for many meals.

Simply shred some iceberg lettuce and top with a big scoop of guacamole.  Add a dollop of sour cream and/or salsa and some tortilla strips.  I'd guess there are plenty of guac recipes out there, but generally this is what I use for a quick, easy, delicious guacamole:

2 ripe avocadoes, peeled, pitted, and cut into big chunks
1/2 roma or other tomato, finely diced
1-2 Tbsp onion, finely minced
1/2 tsp garlic, minced
spoonful of prepared salsa
salt to taste
lime

Depending on how creamy you like your guac, combine everything and smash the avocado to the desired consistency (I like bits of chunkiness in mine).  If you're not going to be serving it immediately, squeeze more lime on top to keep it from turning brown.
