I was surprised! I didn't even taste the eggplant in the guacamole! I did enjoy the different flavors with the bell peppers! Thanks! I did halve the recipe easily. Made for PRMR game.

made as written, except!!! didnt add the cilantro (hate it) AND SUBBED LEMON FOR LIME JUICE, AS THE TREE IS OVERFLOWING! what a great way to make the dip go further!!! very good, well worth the effort! I would say, next time I wont cut the eggplant, just leave it whole, as you lose some, cause the top dries out. made this to go with Tacho's, for Oct recipe swap 09
