Preparation

Step 1

I didn't really get into avocados until just a few years ago but ever since then I have been hooked. One of my favourite way of enjoying avocados has to be in guacamole as it show cases the avocados beautifully and it is just plain amazing! The base recipe for guacamole is pretty easy and once you have it mastered it is fun to play around with it and I often like to try adding different ingredients to change up the flavour profile a bit. After having both avocado slices and a blue cheese in a sandwich a while ago I had been fantasizing about combining them in a guacamole and on

night it was the perfect chance to try it out. I pretty much just took my number one guacamole recipe and added blue cheese which I brought up to room temperature first so that it would more easily mash into the guacamole. In the end I quite enjoyed the blue cheese guacamole! The tangy blue cheese played particularly well with the cool and creamy avocado and added added a hint of flavour that just made everything better.

Directions

I *know* this is good because a local restaurant here once served up "cobb salad" guac with blue cheese, bacon and chopped egg. You should try adding those next time too :)

I love the addition of blue cheese, what a great idea.

The blue cheese adds an extra little kick!

You're kidding! Well, I guess you're not since you blogged about it. I've never had blue cheese in my guac. You might make me a believer yet!

I have always wanted to make guacamole with blue cheese, my husband thought I was crazy. I am going to try it now for sure! Thanks for taking the leap for me! :)

I love avocados' it makes my body looks younger. Thanks for sharing, I will certainly indulge with it.

Hi! I can't wait to make this! It looks great!! I just signed up to follow your site, and I would love for you to check out my blog if you get a chance and maybe even follow me so we could share recipes! Thanks!

This is such a great twist on guac! I'm sure that extra tang makes it extra addictive.

I love home-made guacamole, it is so much better than store bought varieties and fun to make! I will definitely try this recipe as I love blue cheese as well.

Oh.Yum. Made this for supper & slathered it on a soft grinder roll topped with Sunday's roast beef leftovers,cheddar& caramelized onions. For one, I've never put guacamole on a sandwich before...add the blue cheese & I'll be having it again tomorrow & beyond. Thanks for the continued inspiration.

What type of blue cheese did you use? I can't help but think it would make a difference - some blue cheese are a lot stronger than others.

Had an over ripe avocado and was looking for something good. This tastes fantastic. I doubled the jalapeno cause I like it HOT ! That did the trick, spread that on whole grain bread and added roasted chicken to the sandwich its golden. Thanks
