Best Guacamole
We tried this and it is delicious. I can only eat raw foods now, so I put this on cucumbers and enjoyed it. We found that lime works much better than lemon. Lime is more authentic.

As a raw food vegan I eat avocados virtually everyday, and I have to say this is the best guacamole recipe I've had!

Guacamole
This recipe is better with lime juice. The juice of 1 large lime is sufficient for four avacados, but you can add more to taste. Lemons are not used in Mexico.

Avocado Dip
Yammie for the tummy. I have made several Avocado Dips but this one takes the cake. Try it. It makes a good meal in itself. I used whole wheat Club Crackers instead of tortilla chips. However, I guess you could try whole wheat tortilla chips. Maybe I'll try those next time.
