Guacamole with Mandarins

Guacamole with Mandarins

I decided to put my own spin on the citrus guacamole from Sunset magazine. I used mandarins instead of navel oranges, added more lime juice and left out the chili flakes. It was tangy and tasty.

1 avocado
2 mandarin oranges
juice of 2 limes
1/2 cup green onions, chopped
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
salt

Peel avocado and cut into chunks. Peel mandarins, remove as much white membrane as you easy can, and separate segments. Cut each segment in half. Stir oranges in with avocado chunks. Add lime juice, green onion and cilantro and stir. Salt to taste.

Citrus Guacamole

You can make extra-tangy guacamole by adding not only the traditional lime juice but freeze-squeezed lemon juice as well. This recipe comes from the 1998 Recipe Annual from Sunset and was originally contributed to the magazine in collaboration with chef James Boyce.

1 orange (about half a pound weight)
1 avocado
2 Tbsp. lime juice
1/2 cup green onions, chopped
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
hot chili flakes
salt

Peel orange and remove white membrane before cutting into half-inch chunks. Peel avocado and cut into half-inch chunks. Combine. Stir in remaining ingredients, adding chili flakes and salt to taste. Makes two cups.
