Rose Williams was one of Seward Co-op’s most beloved and endearing characters, leaving a legacy of kindness and goodwill connected to food and community. She lived next door to the co-op on 22nd Avenue, and for many years she made the best guacamole in the Twin Cities for Seward Co-op.
Rosie’s Guacamole
Ingredients
2 large, ripe Hass avocados
2 Roma tomatoes, chopped
1/3 cup cilantro, chopped
3 Tbsp. minced red onion
1 lime, juiced
1-2 jalapenos, minced, to taste
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
Instructions
Mash the avocado in a bowl, leaving a few rough chunks. Gently stir in the remaining ingredients. Serve with chips or as a garnish to other dishes like tacos or tostadas. This dish is best served fresh, but if you keep it for longer before serving, place plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to keep it from oxidizing and turning brown.
