California Guacamole

A Party Passion: That's the subheading for this recipe which was clipped from a newspaper and may have been part of an advertisement for a California agricultural group.  I didn't check the sticker on my avocados to see if they came from California, but the guacamole was fantastic.


2 medium California avocados, halved, seeded, peeled and mashed
1 tomato, chopped
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
2 Tablespoons diced green chiles
1 tsp. minced cilantro
1/2 tsp. salt
1 small clove garlic, minced

Combine dip ingredients and mix well.  Cover with plastic wrap and chill.  Serve with tortilla chips or fresh vegetables.  Makes 2 cups.
