Blue Chip GuacaMollie

As an uprooted Texan living in Maine for more than 25 years, I've learned that if I get a hankerin' for Tex-Mex, I'd better make it myself. So ... here's my "Mainer" variation on that healthful green favorite otherwise known and Guacamole.

Ingredients:

2-3 ripe avocados, peeled with pits removed and set aside*

1 small onion, finely chopped
1 tsp. Worchestershire sauce or freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice

1 tsp. ground cumin
Sea salt to taste
Cucumber, peeled and sliced
Fresh baby spinach leaves or mixed salad greens, washed and spun dry
Blue corn chips

Garnishes:
1 ripe tomato, peeled, seeded and finely chopped or minced**
Chopped ripe olives
Fresh cilantro
Sour cream
Shredded cheddar or Monterey jack cheese

In a small-medium mixing bowl, smash avocados with a fork to moderately lumpy consistency.

Add and mix in onion, Worchestershire sauce or citrus juice, cumin and salt.

**Tomato may also be mixed in with avocados, onion, etc.

Serve on a bed or sliced cukes, spinach or salad greens. Spike with corn ships and add your choice of garnishes.
