1/2 t. Sea salt

Avocados:

•  Sprinkle mixture with sea salt to taste

*Kristen‘s Cooking Hack: When removing the seeds and slicing the jalapeno pepper,  place a plastic baggy over your hand to avoid contamination with heat from the seeds. 

Serving ideas: In addition to traditional chips, consider serving guacamole
with slices of English cucumber, carrots, peppers or jicama.
