I seem to be destined to try dozens of recipes for this avocado dip. Then I always try just eyeballing some similar combination, which usually turns out okay, but a sense of ‘something’ missing. The latest contestant is the ‘Company’s Coming: Healthy Choices’ recipe for ‘Special Guacamole.’<\/p>\n
Here’s what\u00a0the recipe says to do:<\/p>\n
Mash:
\n-one large, ripe avocado in a medium bowl
\nMix in:
\n-1 tbsp finely chopped green onion
\n-1 tbsp lime juice
\n-2 tbsp finely chopped Jalapeno pepper
\n-1 minced garlic clove
\n-1\/4 tbsp ground cumin
\n-sprinkle of pepper
\nThen add:
\n-2 medium tomatoes chopped<\/p>\n
I doubled this recipe to serve 6, but still only used 2 tomatoes, and left in the seeds and juice. I also took the seeds and white ribs out of the jalapeno and substituted lemon juice for the lime and red onion for green. (I’m big on using whatever happens to be in the house.)<\/p>\n
The verdict:
\nOn the whole, I’d say a bit of salt would have been helpful, and maybe leaving in the seeds and ribs of the jalapeno might have given it the heat it needed. As it was, it’s a pretty standard guacamole recipe. In\u00a0a pinch, I’d use it again, but I’d add more heat! If I had to rate it, I’d say 3 bites out of 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
