GUACAMOLE DIP
SINCE guacamole is a favorite in this area with its emphasis on Mexican food, I decided to create my own recipe. I serve it as a dip for chips, with baked chicken or to top off a bed of lettuce. -Virginia Burwell, Dayton, Texas

BEK'S BLACK BEAN SALSA/PICO DE GALLO
I love this with pork chops and yellow rice, as an alternative to plain black beans. It's also a great colorful dip to put out for parties with tortilla chips or pita chips. This can be served warm or cold, we like it both ways. This recipe started with leftovers from Recipe #289407, then adding the black beans, corn, and red bell pepper and some additional spices. I've written this to be made from scratch, but it might help to glance through that recipe first. I also included some variations I've tried at the bottom of the directions - as always, let me know how you change it up.

- Variations:
- Try roasted red bell pepper instead of fresh for a great, smoky taste.
- Use different colored bell peppers for a more festive look.
- Add 1/4 cup diced red onion.
- Add diced jalepenos or habaneros to kick it up.
- Let me know any other variations you try!

Tips:
- Use ripe avocados: The riper the avocados, the creamier and more flavorful your guacamole will be.
- Don't over-mash the avocados: You want your guacamole to be chunky, not pureed.
- Season your guacamole to taste: Add salt, pepper, lime juice, and chopped cilantro until it tastes just the way you like it.
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for your salsa: This will give your salsa the best flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different salsa ingredients: There are many different ways to make salsa, so feel free to add or omit ingredients to suit your taste.
- Make your salsa ahead of time: Salsa actually tastes better the next day, so you can make it a day or two in advance.
- Use a variety of peppers in your drunken pico de gallo: This will give your salsa a complex flavor.
- Don't be afraid to add some heat to your drunken pico de gallo: If you like spicy salsa, add a few serrano or habanero peppers.
- Serve your dip trio with your favorite chips or vegetables: Tortilla chips, pita chips, and vegetable crudités are all great options.
