Chardonnay Guacamole Recipe

Mmmmm...Guacamole.  Very simple to make, especially using leftover salsa (I used Cherchies Oh Sooo Simple Salsa Recipe), but you can always substitute your favorite salsa.  

However, the unique blend of spices in our Cherchies® Chardonnay Lime & Cilantro Seasoning takes this guacamole over the top!

 Ingredients

• 2 ripe avocados
• 1/2 cup Cherchies Oh Soo Simple Salsa Recipe
• 1 Tablespoon (Tbsp.) (or more to taste) Cherchies Chardonnay Lime & Cilantro Seasoning
• 1 lime
• 1/2 red onion, chopped

Preparation

Halve avocados, and remove pits with knife.  (Put blade into pit, and gently twist to remove). Make small slits in avocado shells with knife, and scoop out avocado.

In a medium bowl, mash avocados with a fork.  Depending on your "chunk level" mash until desired consistency (I like to have my guacamole on the chunkier side).  

Slice lime and squeeze into bowl.  Stir.

Add salsa , Cherchies Chardonnay Lime & Cilantro Seasoning, and stir.

Add chopped onions.

The chips are salivating!  For a spooky Halloween version, cut up peppers to resemble Jack o Lanterns, and fill the peppers with the guacamole.  Instant spookiness!

Oh Sooo Simple Salsa Recipe

Company coming and no salsa?  No problem…Cherchies Salsa seasoning is here to save the day!   I keep this spice and canned diced tomatoes on hand for those impromptu gatherings.  Fresh tomatoes in season are always best, but here in Pennsylvania in the winter, our options are limited.

Ingredients

• 1 (or 2) cans diced tomatoes, drained
• 1 Tbsp.  Cherchies Salsa Seasoning (more to taste)
• 1 small red onion, chopped (optional)
• 1  green pepper, chopped (optional)

Preparation

Take a can of diced tomatoes (or two depending on your company), and drain the tomatoes.  (Option to add chopped onions and pepper at this point, but not necessary).

Sprinkle some Cherchies Salsa Seasoning…sprinkle some more, and stir.  The more you sprinkle, the spicier it will be.  

You might just have to taste your creation…not that that would be a bad thing.  Be careful, this is for company remember?  This seasoning is soooo yummy.

Add your favorite chips, and voila, simple salsa!  Now I’m hungry!!  Enjoy!
