I came across this recipe on the website of New York cookery writer Phoebe Lapine who seeks to marry wellness with hedonism in her kitchen.
This is a guacamole recipe with a difference, and makes a delicious dip to serve with summer vegetable crudités
such as coarsely julienned raw carrots and young zucchini. It proved very popular at my first barbecue buffet party of the summer last weekend.
Phoebe also suggests also serving this combined with roasted spring vegetables as a toasted snack. I shall try this on toasted wholemeal bread next week for a light lunch on 'Meatless Monday'.
If you wonder how Phoebe mixes wellness with hedonism - get out your blender and try her green kale Margarita for a re-tox after your detox!

2 ripe avocados; 2 spring onions; 1/4 cup
tightly packed parsley leaves;1/4 cup tightly packed basil leaves; 3 tbsp lemon
