Guacamole Dressing

I am such a guacamole addict. I can eat a bowlful by myself. (TMI?) The other day I served a huge scoop on top of a salad...delicious. Then a lightning bolt went off...what if I made a guacamole dressing for salad? Brilliant!

This easy recipe comes together in minutes. Perfect on a large mixed green salad, or add some grilled chicken, shrimp or beef  for a main dish. Works nicely as a dip for vegetables, poured over baked potatoes or drizzled over sandwich fillings. You will find many uses for this sauce. Enjoy!
