Whenever company comes to visit I like to serve some tasty snacks. One of my favorite snacks to serve my guests is my homemade Spicy Guacamole Dip. I also serve some crunchy tortilla chips on the side. I use fresh, ripe avocados for this dish. When you purchase your avocados you can ripen them on your countertop for 2-3 days and wait until they feel slightly soft and the skin turns dark. Avocados are one of those healthy fats containing Omega fatty acids which are heart healthy. Avocados also contain Vitamin C and some fiber. To open the avocados use a sharp knife and hold the knife against the top corner. Press down and then spin the knife cutting through the outer shell. Pull the avocado apart and remove the large seed. Use a spoon to scoop out the soft flesh into your bowl. Now you are all set to make your dip.

Cut open the avocado using a sharp knife. Place the knife at the top corner and spin the avocado around cutting through the soft flesh. Pop open the avocado, remove the seed using a small spoon. With the spoon scoop out the flesh into a serving bowl. Add salsa, 1/2 lime (squeeze the juice), jalapeño and cilantro. Using a fork smash down the avocado and mix in all the ingredients. Serve chilled with tortilla chips.
