Guacamole Dip

Submitted by Chef Jeeem

"I've tried store bought dips and tried numerous times to "get it right" to no avail, until given this recipe by a Mexican friend of mine who used to own her own restaurant. It's as good as they come, but you need to "cure" it in the fridge for a while so it picks up the flavor of all the ingredients."

Wow!! A terrific recipe! I scaled this down to use 1 avocado as there are only two of us. I made it in the morning and kept it in the fridge all day before serving it at supper time. It's true, the flavours come out so much better over time. A great blend, and simple to whip up in my food prcessor. I'll be making this one again, thanks for posting!
