HARVEST GUACAMOLE

Add a touch of fall to your dip with  this Harvest Guacamole--full of pecan, pumpkin seeds, and corn. Enjoy this taste of the season with tortilla chips. A great fall appetizer.

      

Sometimes when I come up with recipes, I go about it a little backwards. What do I mean? Well, there are occasions where the name of the dish comes to me before the recipe. In this instance, I wanted to make a dip called Harvest Guacamole many months ago, but it wasn’t until last week that I decided to work on the recipe. It didn’t take long to obtain the result I wanted. In keeping with the harvest theme, I added pumpkin seeds, pecans, and corn to my guacamole dip. It is a really good combination of flavor and texture, not to mention that it makes a great presentation when served with blue corn chips. 

Please keep in mind, the proportion given is a guideline, so feel free to adjust the quantity to suit your taste. If you need a little more tang, add a little lime. Not a fan of heat, reduce the amount of  jalapeño. Love heat? Add more of the hot stuff. If you like more crunch, add more pecans or pumpkin seeds. Have fun tailoring the guacamole to your liking!
