[Sca-cooks] OoP: Crudites

[Huette von Ahrens]

How about a guacamole dip?  Since I can't have peppers, I just take a large ripe avocado, peel
it, and mash it and add a large tablespoon of mayo to it and mix it well.  Very simple and very 
good tasting.  I haven't done it for a crowd, but I am sure you could figure out proportions 
if you go in this direction...
