Guacamole on a Stick

This recipe makes an awesome hors d'oeuvres - especially if you have a phobia (like the Diva) of people who "double dip" in the guacamole. Plus it's TOTALLY easy to pop these babies in your mouth while holding onto your margarita in the other hand. The perfect summer party treat.

INGREDIENTS:
3 - 4 heritage avocados (a nice, firm variety like a Fuerte, Lamb or Gem works great).
24 grape ripe grape tomatoes, cut in half
1 bunch of cilantro, pull off 48 nice leaves
2 large lemons - juiced
1 - 2 tablespoons Diva Guacamole Spice Mix
48 fancy toothpicks

DIRECTIONS:
a. Cut ripe avocados in half and take out the pits. With a small melon baller, make about 6 balls of avocados per half.
b. Place the avocado balls on a large platter and squeeze lemon juice over all the avocado pieces and then sprinkle with Diva's Guacamole Spice Mix. Shake platter so they "roll around" a bit -- and repeat with more juice and spice mix.
c. Skewer the tomatoes, then the cilantro leaf, then a ball of avocado on each toothpick (do it in this order, as the tomato is "stronger" and can take being pushed up the tooth pick better than the softer avocado ball).
d. If not serving immediately - cover tightly with plastic wrap and store in fridge. You should serve these within a few hours as avocado will oxidize (turn brown).
