    When in Texas (2) …

    Because the price of avocados and the variability of their freshness at home in Canada is more than a bit prohibitive, I look forward to our winters in South Texas.

    We live close enough to Mexico that the avocados are reasonably priced, fresh, and don’t spoil in a day.

    And … I can make guacamole… my favourite dip.

    Easy Guac Recipe:

    2 ripe avocados

    2 TBSP Salsa

    1 Small Red Onion (or 1/2 medium), chopped fine

    Juice of 1 Lime

    1 TBSP sour cream

    Salt and Pepper, as desired

    If you like it a bit more spicy, seed, finely chop, and add one small jalapeño pepper.

    Mash avocados and salsa together in a medium bowl, then stir in all other ingredients until well blended. Store in tightly covered container in fridge for at least an hour (this will keep up to 1 day in fridge)
