I love guacamole, but wanted to come up with an alternative recipe for creamy avocados. I like that this spread is a snap to make and adds lively flavor to simple meals. When zesting lemons, make sure to zest just the yellow part, as the white pith will add unwanted bitterness.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
1. Serve on crostini with fresh cracked pepper or cayenne pepper and shaved Parmesan cheese.
2. Spread over sauteed or grilled [cFavorites]
3. Add to a vegetarian sandwich or a tuna sandwich.
4. Serve as a dip for corn chips, pita chips, or veggies.
