  1. WOW, this was super yummy! I never even thought of making guacamole with cucumber, but its a perfect match. The cool and crisp cucumber with the smooth avocado is just wonderful both in texture and taste!<br/>Loved how healthy this was, too!<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this great recipe with us, Rita! <br/>Made and reviewed for Veggie Swap #28 November 2010 and the Eating Well Event in the Photo Forum.
     
  2. UHM YUM!!! This was so good Rita!! Very refreshing and super smooth! I used this as a veggie dip and even as a dressing....the DH put this on his falafel (great vegan alternative to that yogurt/cucumber stuff they serve with them)!!! We will be enjoying this again for a mexican night - can't wait! Thanks!! Made for Veg*n Swap Oct '10!!
     
  3. Light & healthy. I made ours chunkier as I thought it would lack something being pureed in the blender so I fork crushed everything. It wasn't too garlicky since I had no press on hand, it could have done with one more organic Canadian garlic clove (not garlic from China!). I also used freshly squeezed lemon juice as that is what I had on hand, sea salt for a big pinch, English cucumber without de-seeding, fresh cilantro and flat leaf parsley. I served it as a dip for Beantos Black Bean Chips (no corn! I love them). Made for January 2013's Casual Veggie Tag (come join us everyone!)
     
  4. Made for ZWT-8 (Family Picks) & as part of assorted snacks to welcome my DH & a friend home from a fishing trip. The flavour of this dip is excellent & the prep both easy & quick. I know this dip was described as a "creamier version of guacamole", but I found I missed some textural component(s) & I ended up adding diced cucumber & black olives into the mix. Then I added a little extra garlic & it was good-to-go for us. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. The guys were very happy w/their snacks. :-)
     
  5. This was deliciously COOL and creamy. This is a nice light change from a traditional guacamole made from ALL avacodoes. We could really taste the cucumber in this. I did add some Smokey Seasoning Salt (Penzey's) some adobo seasoning and some ancho chili powder, just to give it a little kick. I served this with tortilla chips, but I bet this would be amazing on tacos or burritos, in plac of sour cream.
