Creamy Avocado Dip

This creamy dip puts a new spin on guacamole.  It's got a lighter avocado flavor and a creamier texture.  

It's perfect for your favorite tortilla chips.  It also taste great with veggie dippers such as red or yellow bell peppers, carrots or tomato wedges.

This recipe is as easy as it gets.  After mashing avocado with a fork simply stir in remaining ingredients and serve.

I was experimenting with making homemade tortilla chips.  The tortillas behind the dip are brown rice and the front ones are Ezekiel tortillas.  I didn't have any corn tortillas, but they would have been good, too.
