Several years ago I was asked to create a guacamole recipe that was out of the ordinary for a publication I was writing for. I developed 2 recipes featuring creamy avocados, both were amazing so we tested them out on friends and took a poll. The Grapefruit Guacamole won out but I could never get 5-Greens Guacamole, featuring green apples and basil, out of my mind.
Since the summer snacking season is in full swing, it seemed like a good time to share this favorite today. The rich creamy concoction is ideal, served with a beer or my Grand Mariner Mojito Martini! Whew, now that’s a winning combination!!
5-Greens Guacamole
2 ripe avocados
1 small jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
½ green apple, finely chopped
2 green onions, whites, and greens finely chopped
¼ cup basil cut in a chiffonade
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Coarsely mash avocados, add all other ingredients, and toss. Serve with warm tortilla chips.
It’s hard to beet the simplicity of a great guacamole in the summer!
Enjoy!
