"Guacamole" or Avocado Dip
My kids love to half an avocado and eat it straight out of the shell. Just score the avocado and "voila", no mess and no fuss. The best!
| 2-3 avocados, preferably Hass, cut into 1/2-inch dice 2 tomato, diced 1 lime, juiced | ¼ tsp garlic salt ½ tsp minced onion flakes ¼ tsp chili flakes, optional |
Procedure
1Pit the avocados. Hold the avocado halves in one hand while you score the flesh length wise and crosswise. Then squeeze avocado cubes out of the avocado skin into a large bowl.
2Squeeze the lime over the avocado cubes, sprinkle garlic salt, and onion flakes and toss gently.
3Add diced tomatoes and toss again.
4Serve fresh with corn tortilla chips or as a side to any dish.

Recipe Tips
See Best Party Dip Ever Topping Recipe to make a heartier dip.
If jalapeno sour cream dip is unavailable, use an 8 ounce container of sour cream and add: 1/4 cup canned diced jalapenos (drained) with 1 tablespoon minced onion flakes.
Substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream, since it is thick and creamy. It is also full of protein with no added preservatives or sweeteners. It is also diabetic friendly.
