Cucumber-Dill Guacamole

The other night I made some fajitas using my new Executive 12" Skillet (#2865).  It worked great and I am sorry I didn't get a picture of it!  As an afterthought though I took a picture of the Cucumber-Dill Guacamole dip that I made in my Classic Batter Bowl (#2431).  I have taken a picture of the products that I used to make it.  I will try to explain each product and how I used it.

I used the Mix 'N Chop (#2583) to mix together two avocados and juice of one lime in the Classic Batter Bowl (#2431).  I do not have the Citrus Press (#2595) although I hear it is amazing instead I used the Stainless Whisk (#2475)  by holding the whisk on the wires, place the end into 1/2 the lime that you cut with the 5" Utility knife (#1052) and twist.  This is a great way to juice your limes or lemons and very effective.  You only need 1 -1/2 T. of lime juice.

Using the Core 'N More (#1176) remove the stem of 1 jalapeno (it isn't pictured but I did use it!).  The core and more is great for removing stems and those hot seeds out of the peppers!  Then chunk the 1 jalapeno, 1/2 small red onion, and 1/2 cucumber with the utility knife (#1052).  Add all of this plus 1/4 cup fresh dill, 1 tsp. cumin, 1/2 tsp. salt all in the Manual Food Processor (#2581). Add 1 garlic clove pressed in our wonderful, amazing garlic press (#2576).  Process until the vegetables are finely chopped and then add to the avocados and lime mixture and mix using the Mix 'N Chop (#2583).  This is what you get when done:

This is a refreshing dip and keeps well.  You can put the avocado pits in the dip to help keep it from turning dark.  I was really surprised at how much I liked this dip!

All of these products are good to use in many different ways.  The Mix 'N Chop (#2583) is one of my top selling items.  It is great for frying hamburger with and I like to use it to mash my potatoes.  

I hope this has been helpful and you have found a new recipe to try.

Until next time, Happy Cooking!!!
