Lime Guacamole with Corn Chips
Keep a little texture in the avocado for a guacamole to scoop with corn chips. Finely minced onion and jalapeno spread their flavor without dominating one bite, while drained tomato adds freshness without flooding the bowl. Assemble near serving, and leave any decorative avocado stone out of the dip.

FDA handling and storage conditions
Ingredient substitution
The 6 g jalapeno may be omitted for a milder dip. It supplies heat rather than binding; keep the lime and avocado quantities and expect less chili aroma.
