Snacks In No Time: Groovy Guacamole

Dips or Sauces are excellent with kids around.  They are fun and different, which catches their interest.  Avocados are so good for you, and kids are sometimes very picky.  But the tanginess of guacamole, and the fact they can dip chips into it really encourages them to try new things.
Ingredients:

• 10-12 cherry tomatoes, peeled.
  
• 4 ripe avocados, skin and pits removed.
  
• Juice from 1 lime, or 2 Tablespoons of reconstituted
  
• 1/2 a small onion
  
• 2 garlic cloves, or 3 tsp. chopped garlic (already prepared)
  
• 1/8-1/4cup dried cilantro

Instructions:
Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until desire texture.  Season with salt to taste.  Place in an airtight container in refrigerator and use within 4 days.  Serve with tortilla chips or crackers.  (serves 6)
Tips:

1. Remove skin from tomato's:  Place tomato's in a bowl, and pour boiling hot water over them until they are covered and allow to sit for 3 minutes. Peel skins off with a paring knife until all have been removed.
   
2. Remove skin and pit from avocado:  Cut avocado in half, remove pit with a spoon.  Scoop flesh out with a spoon.
   
3. This recipe can be done also with a blender if you prefer.  It is quite thick so you will need to stop and keep scraping the sides with a rubber scraper.
