Guacamole Reinvented

Don't be afraid of the unique ingredient combinations in this deconstructed guacamole recipe from Vegetarian Times. The ingredients actually work together wonderfully and form a delightful range of tastes from crunchy to peppery to creamy and everything in between. The fusion of flavors also creates a spectacular blend of colors that are perfectly presented in the avocado shells.
