Cajun Avocado Dip

Serves: 8
Prep Time: 10 minutes (make 1 hour in advance)
Cook Time: N/A

2 avocados
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon crushed garlic
1/3 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 teaspoon white pepper
1/3 teaspoon cayenne pepper or other hot chilli powder

Roughly mash the avocado and fold in the remaining ingredients.
Press one avocado stone into the centre of the dip to prevent
discolouration. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
As a dip, serve with vegetable sticks, corn chips, grilled chicken
wings or potato wedges. Cajun-spiced avocado also makes a
delicious topping for grilled meat, poultry, fish and egg dishes.
