While guacamole is tasty in its traditional form, step it up a notch by adding seasonal fruit. Incorporate strawberries in the spring, mango in the summer, figs in the fall and grapes during the winter. 

Ingredients

2 Hass avocados, cubed

½ cup seasonal fruit, diced (strawberry, mango, fig or grape) ¼ cup finely chopped Spanish onion
1 plum tomato, seeds removed, finely diced (optional)
1 small  jalapeño pepper (with seeds), minced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
1 small clove garlic, minced
⅛ teaspoon ground cumin ½ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste

Direction

Before you begin: Wash your hands.

  1. In medium bowl, add avocado, seasonal fruit, onion, tomato (if using),  jalapeño pepper, cilantro, lime juice, garlic and cumin. Stir until just combined. Add salt to taste.
  2. Serve with blue corn tortilla chips.
