Submitted by GrammaJeanne

"This is a little different from anything I've seen on the site and it is my personal favorite. I got it from a friend about 10 years ago. It's for those of us who love avocado but don't like the spicy dips."

I wanted to make a different guacamole for a change of pace. I used low fat cream cheese, 2 avocados, minced onion, lime juice, garlic powder and a touch of cumin. It was very good! Will make again.

I used more avocado and less cream cheese. This was OK, nice and creamy, but really mild. I don't think I would make it again.

This was a good dip. It was nice for a change. Think next time I'll use 2 avocado's though. I added a few shakes of garlic powder also. Served with tortilla chips & avocado rice cakes.

GREAT! i added some garlic because i was afraid it would be a little bland, and only had regular pepper so used that instead. but WONDERFUL recipe. lots of compliments! ate it with both crackers AND tortilla chips. Thank so much!

Oh wow! Just hand me the bowl and a bag of tortilla chips and I'll be in Heaven! This is great - I served it for a cocktail party. I wanted something different that would be creamy and flavorful, but more elegant - not like a salsa type. This was perfect! Thanks.
