- 1 small Roasted Red Pepper, finely chopped
- ½ of a Lime’s Juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 Haas Avocados

Matthew – I love avocado. I often lunch on 2 Wasa crackers smeared with fresh avocado and lemon juice. When I recently did an African-themed dinner one of the appetizers I served was a guacamole that was prepared with anchovy and a dash of sherry. It really took guacamole to another level. You should try it.
Joan, I certainly will! I imagine anchovies in particular could really brighten up guacamole in an exciting way.
I’ve never been wild about them on pizza, but I think they’re one of the great underappreciated seasonings for sauces and dressings…I used some in a pasta salad with reggiano, sun dried tomatoes and a nice extra virgin oil just the other day…it was great!
Thanks for the tip!
Matthew
