Name: Guacamole Three Ways
Yield: 1 cup per recipe version
Ingredients: 1 cup ripe avocado (about 1 medium size); 1 Tbsp finely diced onion; 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice; 1 Tbsp roughly chopped cilantro; ½ tsp fine sea salt; Shabazi: the Classic - jalapeño, and herbs; Sour Lime: the Persian - Persian lime, garlic, and turmeric; Yagenbori: the Umami – chili, orange, and sesame

For chips, toast, or to stuff into a fluffy baked sweet potato - avocado is delicious in all the ways. Start with an avocado, a few other ingredients, and change up the blends to find out how many favorites a person can have! Make sure to try all three below. The Shabazi is an amazing classic+, the Persian (Sour Lime Seasoning) is extra bright and also deeper and more complex with a touch of cumin, and the Umami (Yagenbori) will take you by surprise. Yagenbori starts like a cross between Shichimi Togarashi and Everything Bagel but then adds sneaky notes of Sansho pepper and an umami complexity from kombu. But honestly, they're just full of flavor and deliciousness.
