Sometimes you want something a little different from the standard sandwich when you decide to have a picnic. Perfect Picnic Guacamole is a simple recipe, not too much work but something delicious all the same.
Guacamole definitely fits the bill and avocados are really good just now. It does annoy me when they are marked as ‘ripe and ready to use’ and then it takes a week for them to soften. However, this one was perfect with no bruising and it mashed down in a really pleasing manner.
Combined with some pitta bread and salad, the Perfect Picnic Guacamole becomes a feast. To transfer your guacamole to the picnic location, just put it in a plastic box and pack the bread and salad separately. You can spread the guacamole onto the pita bread, or tear it off and dip it into the soft mashed avocado. Take lots of napkins or kitchen towels to wipe your fingers and mouth after your feast.

The perfect picnic accompaniment- your lovely recipe is a long, long way from my first introduction to guacamole in one of those self-assemble home fajita kits!
Janice Pattie says
Thanks Kate. Yes, fresh guacamole is a long way from the kit versions!
