Guacamole

Super Bowl just wouldn't be the same without a big bowl of Guacamole. San Diego County is the largest producer of avocados in the U.S. That's all the excuse I needed to post my recipe which happens to be my mom's. The Wishbone dressing sounds odd but it has the right combination of lemon juice, vinegar and garlic which gives it a zesty punch and keeps the avocados from turning brown. I never have leftovers!

Cook's Shortcut- If you don't have the time or inclination to chop the onions, tomatoes, cilantro just pick up a container of fresh pico de gallo at the store and dump it in. I wish I could take credit for this great idea but this one goes to the Pioneer Woman. Check out her blog, it's listed below.



3-4 large avocados, cubed
juice of half a lemon
2-3 tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/3 cup diced red onion
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons minced cilantro(optional)
tobasco or your favorite hot sauce
2-3 tablespoons of Wishbone Light Italian dressing or as much as you like

Put the avocados and lemon juice into a bowl and give them a rough mash with the back of a fork. Leave some avocado chunks. Add the tomoato and onion and stir to combine. Add the salad dressing, salt and pepper to taste. Go easy on the salt as the dressing has salt in it. I usually start with just a sprinkle. Mix in the hot sauce if you like a kick. Serve with tortilla chips or mexican food.
