My mom gave me this reciped years ago. It is so different from guacamole. Here in west Texas, we get our share of guacamole and this is a welcome change. The flavor of the Italian dressing adds the zing, and the green chilis add a little punch. If you like it hotter, just add one chopped jalapeno. The avocadoes need to be firm enough to chop and not mushy like you want them to be for guacamole. Buy firm, not hard as a rock, avocadoes. Cooking time is for refrigeration. Enjoy! Ingredients:
6 -8 firm avocados |
3 -4 roma tomatoes |
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies |
1 (12 ounce) can pitted black olives |
1 (12 ounce) bottle zesty italian dressing (be sure it's the zesty italian) |
3 green onions |
1 garlic clove |
salt, to taste |
Directions:
1. Peel and seed avocadoes, dice.
2. Dice tomatoes.
3. Chop green onion.
4. Mince garlic.
5. Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl.
6. Stir gently together. Be gentle about this as you don't want to mash the avocado.
7. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours for flavors to develop.
8. Serve with tostadas or hefty chips.
9. Enjoy all the compliments.
10. You may have to take copies of this recipe where ever you serve it.
