Guacamole Avocado Dip

February 28, 2015 By Tara Riley

guacamolieGuacamole is a versatile dish, with origins dating back to the Ancient Aztecs of Mexico. According to Wikipedia, the name comes from the Aztec word:  āhuacamolli, which when translated, literally means “Avocado Sauce.”

As a dip, it pairs great with tortilla chips. It is also great as condiment for your tacos or on top of a southwestern salad.

The recipe below replaced the standard “Sour Cream and Onion Mix” dip that we used to serve in our house sometime in the late ’70s. It is a great addition to a Cinco De Mayo or Superbowl Party.

When I was young, we were lucky enough to have a Avocado tree right in our back yard. My mother guarded that tree like a hawk — and there was heck to pay when some of my younger nieces and nephews ransacked the tree during a friendly game of “War!”
