Bacon and Feta Guacamole

 

20150207_181406

This recipe was a big hit. The bacon bits add great texture to the guac and the feta adds a tanginess to the mix.

Bacon: We used Red Barn bacon for this recipe but I think we would have preferred a bacon that crisps a little better and is more savory like Glenwood’s regular bacon.

Makes 3 cups

Ingredients

1/2 cup diced rendered bacon

1 large tomato, with seeds removed and diced

4 ripe avocados

juice of 1 lime

1 yellow onion finely diced

1 tbls vinegar

1/2 cup feta (I recommend a goat or sheep feta as the taste is so much more intense and amazing) cut into cubes

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

1 jalapeno diced (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

 

Method

Put the diced onion in a bowl and add a few tablespoons of vinegar and a few tablespoons of water and set aside.

Cut the avocadoes in half and remove the pit and scoop out the avocado into a large bowl and mash using a fork or potato masher.

Drain the diced onion and add to the mashed avocado along with the remaining ingredients. Add more salt, pepper or lime juice if necessary.
