====Description====
A deceptively easy guacamole that showcases how simple is sometimes better

====Ingredients====
  *Cilantro: 4 tbsp, finely chopped, divided
  *Serrano chilies: 1-2, stemmed and finely chopped
  *White onion: 2 tbsp, finely chopped
  *Kosher salt: to taste \\ \\ 
  *Avocado: 3 tipe, halved and pitted \\ \\ 
  *Grape tomatoes: 1/2 pint, finely chopped

====Notes====
  *I've replaced the finely chopped onion with finely chopped shallot and it's fine, but I wouldn't suggest leaving it out 
  *The original recipe has 1 pint of tomatoes, but I think that's way too much. Definitely use grape tomatoes though, since they have a lower water content and won't dilute the guacamole

====Instructions====
  -In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the cilantro, the chilies, onion, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mash with the bottom of a dry measuring cup until a rough paste forms, about 1 minute
  -Scoop the avocado flesh into the bowl and coarsely mash it with a potato masher or fork. Stir in half the tomatoes until combined. Taste and season with salt
  -Transfer to serving bowl and sprinkle with the remaining cilantro and tomato
