- Number of servings:
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe, fresh avocados, halved, pitted, peeled and mashed
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 24 woven-wheat crackers
- 2 Tbsp. cilantro leaves, finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp. almonds, slivered
- 2 Tbsp. red bell peppers, finely diced
Instructions:
- Place avocado, lime juice, garlic and salt in a medium bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth. Cover and place in the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour so guacamole is cold before piping onto crackers.
- Fit a medium pastry bag with an open star tip. While holding the base of the bag, fill with avocado mixture. Gently squeeze bag, piping about 1/2 tablespoon avocado mixture directly onto each cracker, creating avocado “trees”. Divide mixture between 24 crackers.
- Decorate with cilantro, almonds and red pepper pieces. Store in the refrigerator and serve within one hour of assembly.
