    With as many potlucks and parties that our family goes to, it is fun to find new ways to serve chips and dips.  I especially like the salsa served in a pineapple. What a fun dish to bring to a summer or luau themed party.

    Here are 5 New Ways to Serve Chips and Dip! from Evite. Speaking of dips, can you guess what my favorite kind is? Why yes, it is guacamole!

    I made the best guacamole for last weekend, and it was a hit! It has a nice tangy flavor from the lime juice and a pop of spice from the jalapenos. I used half of a jalapeno instead of the whole pepper, and it had plenty of spice for us. Paired with Tortilla Chips, grilled chicken, and fresh watermelon, it was the perfect end-of-summer BBQ.

    The BEST Guacamole

    Packed with flavor and fresh ingredients, this really is the best guacamole recipe! Serve with chips or on tacos.

    • 3 large avocados
    • ¼ yellow onion (finely chopped)
    • 1 clove garlic (minced)
    • 1 jalapeno pepper (seeds removed and minced)
    • ½ Roma tomato (chopped)
    • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
    • Juice of 1 lime
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon pepper
    • 2 lime wedges for garnish
    1. In a medium bowl, lightly mash the avocados for a chunky texture.
    2. Add in all of the ingredients and blend together with a fork until the desired consistency.
    3. Serve in a bowl and garnish with lime wedges. Enjoy!

    Note: Guacamole is best served the day it is made. If browning occurs, simply scrape the top layer of guacamole off, and you'll find that the guacamole underneath is bright green and delicious.

      Those dips look good! I"m going to have to try making them. We've tried the multi-grain chips from Costco and Kevin really likes them. 🙂
