Guacamole
My husband and I have become obsessed with Avocado. We grill them, chop them in salads, and slice them in egg breakfast sandwiches. Our favourite way to eat Avocado though is in Guacamole. A co-worker sent me her recipe and we loved it!! A big Thank You to Shannon Campbell. I made a few adjustments to account for our tastes and our fear or jalapenos, and it has now become one of our go to snacks.
