…..and a sprinkle of love

Sometimes giving things a creative and yes, even gross names inspires little ones to try something new.  Shrek Sauce is nothing more than an avocado dip or spread. With a few variations to the recipe we enjoy this sauce as a sandwich spread or as an alternative to guacamole on burrito/taco night.

This is all you need! Of course adjust ingredients to suit your sized family or occasion. 2 ripe avocado’s 1 Roma (Plum) tomato 3-4 Tbsp mayo (we used light) garlic powder to taste

Slice each avocado in half and give the pit a good whack with the knife, give it a twist and the pit should come right out.

Scrape out the flesh of the avocados into a bowl and add the mayo. This is a smooth sauce so I am using my emulsion blender. You can use a hand mixer, potato masher, and if ripe enough, a fork. Mix away until silky smooth.

                                                                               Finely dice the tomato and it and the garlic powder to
                                                   the bowl. I used about a 1/2 tsp of garlic powder but use as
                                                   much or as little as you like.

Have you creatively named a food or recipe to make it more appealing or fun for your family?  I would love to hear about it.  Leave a comment or a link to your recipe, I would love to see it!  Thanks for visiting!
