Roasted Garlic, Poblano, and Red Pepper Guacamole

justtakealook82's Note:

Great recipe I got out of Cooking Light magazine. When storing, press plastic wrap against its surface to keep the dip from oxidizing and turning brown. Great as a spread on sandwiches or alone as a dip.

Great recipe. Made this for a work party and it was devoured. Many people asked me for the recipe. I will definitely use it again!
