Chardonnay Guacamole Recipe

March 12, 2015appetizers, leftovers, snacksSheri SpalloneComment

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!

PRINT RECIPE

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!

Yum

Leftover salami (or any kind of leftover deli meat, bacon, etc.), chopped

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, or montery jack, or perhaps a combination of both)
Cooking Spray
Mini muffin tins
Chopped scallions (optional)

Preparation

Preheat Oven to 350. Spray Mini muffin tins with cooking spray, set aside. In a medium bowl, mix together, potatoes, Cherchies Lem 'n Dill Butter, egg, and salami.

Scoop spoonfuls of potato mixture into mini muffin tins.

Add scallions to make it pretty...and serve.

Mashed potatoes, reconstituted. Omg (sorry, I have two teenagers and a young adult...omg means Oh My Goodness... hee-hee...not!). These are so cute! Enjoy tricking your family!

This recipe is so easy, you'll wonder why you didn't have this before! The combination of lime, cilantro and honey will make your taste buds sing. A perfect meal or appetizer, or for whenever you feel the need to fire up the grill. Serve with a salad and fruit...easy peasy dinner!

Ingredients

PRINT RECIPE

1 Tablespoon (Tbsp.) or more to taste Cherchies Chardonnay Lime & Cilantro Seasoning
1/2 cup honey
1 lb. shrimp, cleaned and deveined (Frozen cooked shrimp, defrosted would work fine too)
1/2 lime, plus the zest
Microplane or zester (Don't have one? Don't fret. A vegetable peeler and knife will do the trick) * See our cooking tip!
Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning)

Preparation

In a small bowl, combine honey, lime zest, lime juice, and Cherchies Chardonnay Lime & Cilantro Seasoning. Set aside.

Spray grill lightly with cooking spray. Turn on grill to high, then down to low when ready to cook. Meanwhile, skewer shrimp onto wooden skewers. (I find it is easier to grill shrimp this way). Brush honey-lime mixture onto shrimp. Put shrimp onto grill, and cook for only a few minutes on each side, until shrimp turn pink (If using fresh shrimp). For frozen cooked shrimp, cook for a few minutes on each side. Serve on a pretty platter with lettuce, and you have an easy appetizer, lunch, or dinner.
