Never to show up empty handed, I decided this was a great opportunity to make guacamole.


I played this one by ear, half-following a recipe discovered at Chelsea Market, and half making it up on my own. That's always the fun part.

Removed the avocado flesh from its shell, scooping it into a bowl. Added lemon juice, onion, garlic powder, salt, and red pepper flakes, for some kick.


Used a fork to mash it all together a bit, letting the avocado remain in chunks, because I love when you can really taste the avocado in the dip.

Once I had a nice, thick mash to work with, I added 4 ounces of Chobani Plain 0% Greek yogurt, to help smooth it out and lighten it up.

do mix completely, more than this half-mixed shot!

At last, add tomato, mixing a little bit in, and using the rest to garnish the top.
