Sweet Corn Guacamole

If you like avocados your going to love this! 
 I like it so much, I could probably eat the whole bowl by myself.

                                              What you need:
                                              1. 4 avocados (small) or 3 big ones
                                              2. 1 1/4 cups frozen super sweet white corn
                                              3. 5 green onion stalks chopped
                                              4. 1 green bell pepper chopped
                                              5. 3/4 cup jicama chopped
                                              6. Fresh parsley chopped (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
                                              7. 3 tablespoons salsa (I use Pace picante sauce)

                                              8. 1/2 lime
                                              9. Bag of tortilla chips or 

                                                  you can slice cucumbers and use them as your chips
                                            10. Garlic salt

                                             What to do:
                                            1.  Put frozen corn in bowl and allow to thaw
                                            2.  Chop green onions, bell pepper, jicama, and parsley
                                            3.  Combine the ingredients listed above
                                            4.  In separate bowl, peel and scoop out avocado, 

                                                  mash with potato masher.
                                            5.  Mix avocado with above chopped ingredients and add salsa
                                            6.  Squeeze in lime juice and mix gently and thoroughly
                                            7.  Season to taste with garlic salt or seasoned salt

Now it's ready to enjoy and I promise you will!  This is sweet, crunchy, fresh, and healthy.  You want to mix this together right before serving so that the avocado doesn't turn brown.  Squirting lime juice into the avocado will slow it down in turning brown. The batch we made tonight disappeared to fast and my family was asking when I'll make more. This recipe was inspired by a visit to the California Pizza Kitchen Restaurant.  We ordered an appetizer that was similar to this and decided we could totally do it at home.  This is our version of what we ate and let me tell you we make it over and over and it always disappears really fast. A twist on this recipe is to add some black beans that have been drained(about 1/3 cup).  Have fun with it and add whatever sounds good to you.
