Green Apple Guacamole

Green Apple Guacamole is a favorite at The Orange House and almost every time we make it for guests, they ask for the recipe. I'm not sure where the it originated, but Grammylou got the recipe from our friend Kim Cole several years ago. It's the perfect quick dish to whip up for a party hit or tasty snack. Enjoy!

Green Apple Guacamole

1 Granny Smith apple
1/4 c chopped onion
1 minced jalapeno, seeds removed
1 large avocado, cubed
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon lime juice (I use key limes if I can find them)
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

Finely dice onion and apple. Toss with remaining ingredients, cover and refrigerate until serving. This is best made the day (or hour) you want to serve it. Serve with plain bagel chips.

Hint: the guacamole should be chunky, so don't over blend when stirring. The avocado, because it is soft, can get too mushy and lost in the dish.
