Avocado Dip

There are some foods that are staple in every family - this is one of ours.  I can barely keep up the supply of avocado's.

Even my youngest daughter loves to put this dip together, whether it is part of a Mexican themed meal, or whether it is simply for a morning tea, teamed with corn chips.  We prefer the corn chips that are available at the fruit market, as they contain no artificial flavours or colours.  it is quite versatile, in that it doesn't really matter if you miss a couple of ingredients, so you make it your own, although it really needs salt and lemon juice as a bare essential.
Enjoy!
