Easy Holiday Appetizers
There are so many easy holiday recipes that can made in just minutes without sauteing, marinating or baking. I made some appetizers this weekend using Wholly Guacamole, a fresh avocado guacamole dip that comes already prepared, and they came out delicious.
Merry Christmas Chips & Guacamole
Adding diced red and green bell peppers to my Wholly Guacamole gave my dip a “festive” look.
The Grinch Eggs
By adding Wholly Guacamole to the center of hard-boiled eggs, I simply used red bell peppers for the eyes and a slice of cooked yolk for the “devilish” smile.

Homemade Guacamole
Some say that keeping the pit and returning to the guacamole will keep the guacamole from turning brown; I can’t say for sure that I agree, but it did make for a pretty photo.
But! I have found that adding a half cup of sour cream seems to do the trick and keep it fresh looking.
