Without question, it is my opinion that avocados are one of the most delicious foods God ever created. I'm fairly certain I could eat them every day with every meal and never get tired of them.
The following recipe was made by a very creative friend of mine and it has become one of my all time favorite ways to enjoy avocados!Thank you so much Heidi for introducing me to this delicious mixture of goodness :)
I'm not certain my proportions are the same as what she uses but this is how I've been making it and my family LOVES it!! We could eat it by the bucketfuls if not for the fact that it really is very filling.
Mango Basil Avocado Dip
2 large avocados diced (I dice them in the skin before scooping the fruit out
with a spoon)
2 ripe mangos
Generous 1/2 cup or more of finely chopped fresh basil
4-5 large cloves of garlic, minced
1 medium sweet onion finely diced
4 med tomatoes peeled and diced (blanch briefly and the skins will peel off
easily. I don't bother peeling the tomatoes when they come from my
garden or other reliable source but if have to buy them from the
supermarket I don't want to eat or feed my family the "food grade
polyurethane" and other who knows what that they coat store bought
tomatoes with,which is why I take the time to peel them )

This is amazing on chips as dip or on veggie sticks, salad, chicken, fish, off a spoon from the bowl....

That sounds so delicious! I'm mourning avocados ... they totally make me sick to my stomach.
