Guacamole

Avacados are always readily available in southern California. They cover the hillsides in sunny San Diego county, and are sold at roadside stands for just pennies on the dollar. Naturally, avacados are a staple fruit for many San Diegans. Avocados are very mild, and often we find avocado dips lack taste. We assure you this easy and yummy avacado dip is full of flavor. Keep this one on your list for upcoming spring and summer parties. Double the recipe, because it won't last long! 

Ingredients:

8 small (or 4 large) ripe Hass avocados
1 cup of your favorite salsa (we used Pace)
2 tablespoons of tapatio
1 small lemon
1/4 chopped sweet onion
2 stalks of chopped green onion (reserve some for garnish)
Paprika
Garlic salt

Slice, pit, and scoop avacados into a medium bowl. Smash well with a fork until creamy. Add juice of lemon and mix well. Add salsa and tapatio and mix well. Add salt to taste. Add tapatio. Mix well. Add green and sweet onion. Mix well. Garnish top with paprika and reserved green onions. Chill until served.
