Oscar Dip

As "guacamole," author Barnes' son wasn't interested in this dip. But once she called it "Oscar Dip" after the green lovable monster from Sesame Street, he was hooked.

The lime juice and cilantro give this salsa a sweet instead of spicy flavor. Increase the onion for those who enjoy more spice. Serve with tortilla chips or layer in a wrap or roll-up sandwich to take on the go.

Ingredients:
1 avocado
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed organic lime juice
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon minced organic green onion
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:
Mash avocado with the back of a fork in a small bowl. Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
