Lucky Dip!

March 16, 2015 Leave a Comment

guacamole

 

May the luck of the Irish be with you tomorrow for St Patrick’s Day!  And while some will be celebrating with green iced cakes, lurid green smoothies and mountains of mash, we’ll be chancing our arm with a healthier dip. Our guacamole (a sort of avocado salsa) is just the thing to dip a vegetable crudite or crispbread into and its natural green colouring will seem just as celebratory as any other festive offering. It’s great as a buffet table dish but also superb with chilli con carne as a side dish. I also like to add a spoonful to my breakfast tortilla omelette with some tomato and a sprinkling of cheese. It’s very simple to make and if kept under wrap will keep in the refrigerator for 1-2 days and far, far tastier than any shop-bought offering …

1 ripe avocado

1/2 small red onion, finely chopped

2 tomatoes, finely chopped
