Guacamole is great, but there has got to be more to the avocado. The deceptive green sphere (it routinely is thought of as a vegetable, but it’s really a fruit), can find a home in any type of dish. Sliced on a sandwich or served atop a salad, it adds a creamy, unique flavor.

Karen Griffith of the 100 block of Mifflin Street likes to spice things up with this cool customer in her Spicy Avocado Dip. Bring in a bag of chips or cut-up vegetables and add a little heat to your next barbecue.
