Notes
A great snack for game time or any time of year. Why puree a lovely item like avocado into guacamole. This is a more elegant version that can go with chips or as an accompaniment to grilled chicken, steak, fish, veggie burgers or whatever floats your boat. By dicing the avocado, you maintain the integrity of the fruit and allow each flavor to speak for itself as opposed to guacamole. Both have their place. If you prefer a more traditional guac, you can puree the avocado. The choice is yours.
