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.
