Thursday - Recipe Day

Thursday is going to be the day I post a recipe to share.  I will come up with something creative to call it, but as I mentioned managing this blog is a work in progress. This is one of  our families' favourite snacks on a Saturday afternoon or while watching a movie. I love to serve it with Blue Tortillia Chips. I get asked to bring it to family and friend gatherings and believe me it dosen't last.

Basic Guacamole Dip

Ingredients

2 ripe Avocados

3 Tablespoons of Olive Oil Mayonaise

2 Garlic Cloves - minced

1/2 Onion - finely chopped

1/2 cup of fresh Cilantro - finely chopped

1 tablespoon of Lime juice or 1/2 lime squeezed

3 dashes of hot red pepper sauce (or to your taste)

Mash the avocados and mayonaise together.  Once those ingredients are mashed together, stir in all the other ingredients.  Cover and store in the fridge until ready to serve.

A few things I have learned about making this dip.

• Keep an avocado pit in the dip until you serve it. It helps keep it from turning brown
• Mashing with a fork works best
• Wash your cliantro, it tends to be gritty

Enjoy this with someone you love!
