Sunshine Guacamole

This is called Sunshine Guacamole because this is a recipe I have been working to perfect for many years, and I am just that vain. And it is just that good. It's the kind of recipe that is so good that, even though you made it for a potluck that night, you kinda wanna sit and eat the entire bowl of it then and there.


Ingredients:
-3 avocados, ripe
-1/4 cup onion, chopped
-4-6 cloves of garlic, pressed or finely chopped
-1/4 cup salsa
-1 heaping spoonful of cream cheese, softened
-1 tsp salt
-1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
-1 lime

1. Chop garlic and onion and let it kinda sit for a while to get all aromatic.
2. All ingredients except lime into small mixing bowl.


3. Take a hand beater (or potato masher) and take out all your frustrations. Mash mash mash. You will find the mixture a bit thick. Don't worry.



4. Behold your lime. Make sure the lime is at room temperature. If not, microwave it for 10 seconds. Roll it around, cut in half, and squeeze the juice out into the mix. (Random Tip: You can grind up the used lime carcasses in the garbage disposal, and your sink will smell citrusy fresh)
5. For best results, let it sit in the fridge for a few hours before serving.


It's so tasty and creamy. I think the little bit of cream cheese goes a long way to make this happen. The creaminess of the avocado and cream cheese cut by the heat of the onion and garlic and refreshed with fresh tomato and cilantro...absolute perfection. Make it now! It tastes fantastic spread on a turkey sandwich or as a dip for pretzels. Or eat it with chips, if you're traditional.

Servings: 3 avocados yields about 4 cups of guac.
