Recipe type: Dips and Salsas
Serves: 5
Ingredients
- 1 yellow onion quartered
- juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 1/3 Cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed chili peppers
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 ripe avocados, halved pitted
- 1 can crabmeat
Instructions
- Put the metal blade chopping in your food processor, then place the onion, lemon juice, mayonnaise, chili peppers and salt in the work bowl.
- Run the processor nonstop for 10 seconds. The onion should be minced, and the other ingredients blended together.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop out large chunks of avocado into the work bowl. Clean out each avocado shell as thoroughly as possible.
- Distribute the chunks of avocado around the chopping blade of the food processor. Pulse process two or three times, until the mixture is churned, but lumpy (like cottage cheese).
- Pick over the crabmeat for cartilage or shell fragments. Blend the crabmeat into the guacamole.
Notes
Try substituting chopped small shrimp for the crabmeat or eliminate the crabmeat if not desired.
