Guacamole

After making this guac, I made it into a salad!  Dolloped onto a bed of lettuce, covered in fresh sweet corn off the cob, framed by sliced cherry tomatoes.  It was delicious and a full meal!

Ingredients:

• 2 avocados
• 1/2 jalapeno
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoon onion, diced
• 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 ear corn, sliced off cob
• 1 tomato, diced

In a food processor with the "s" blade, mix avocado, jalapeno, garlic and spices.  Stir in diced veggies and sprinkle lemon juice on top to keep it green and fresh.
