New Age Guacamole

From my Cooks of the Green Door cookbook. This guacamole has lots of crunch and a little bit of an Asian twist.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Yields: 1 cups

Ingredients

• 1  ear white corn (or 3/4 cup canned white corn)
• 3⁄4 cup avocado, mashed
• 1⁄2 cup water chestnut, chopped
• 2  tablespoons green onions, minced
• 1  tablespoon fresh garlic, minced
• 1  tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1  teaspoon Chinese chili sauce
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Stand corn ear on end and cut off the kernels (or use canned corn). Add raw or canned corn to avocado in a small bowl along with the other ingredients. If preparing in advance sprinkle extra lemon on top and insert the avocado pits to prevent discoloration. Cover and refrigerate up to 6 hours. When ready to serve, remove avocado pits and stir. Serve with tortilla chips or raw vegetables.
