Ingredients:
- 4 haas avocado, halved, seeded and peeled
- 2.5 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 3/4 tablespoon ginger, grated on microplane
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cups cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 cup red onion, diced (about half an onion)
- 2 jalapenos, seeded and minced (about 1/4 cup)
- 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
Instructions:
In a large bowl, toss together the avocado pulp, lime juice and salt. (Tip: Let the lime juice and salt rest on the pulp to help break it down). Mix in cumin and ginger. Fold in cilantro, red onion, jalapeno and blue cheese. Serve.
Storage tip: To keep guacamole from turning, suffocate the dip with lime slices and plastic wrap, so no air can get in.
If you like it a little on the spicy side, you can always add wasabi.Pimiento Cheese Dip
