Any good Recipes for Guacamole or salsa?
I want to make these sauces but Im still stuck on how to make them and/or what to serve with them other than tortilla chips.
Im tryin to be slightly healthy too. Any suggestions?
Answers:
for my guac recipe i use avocados, roma tomatoes, red onion, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and a touch of sour cream.......the lemon juice helps in keeping the guac from turning brown...
as for salsa....i am not a fan of spicy foods so my salsa is more of a fresh garden salsa kind of thing.....i use roma tomatoes, cucumber, red and green peppers, red onion, garlic, cilantro, salt and pepper, a small amount of lemon juice....depending on my mood....sometimes i will add a touch of honey and or some fresh ginger as well.
Go to the grocery store and buy some the tostitos cheese dip is fabulous or get their salsa dip.

guacamole: slice up avocados, cut up a little bit of jalapenos, little bit of lemon, little bit of salt, and put in a food processor. It is delicious!! trust me.
