Recipe: Guacamole Butter

Guacamole Butter
Makes 10 servings

1/4 pound butter, softened
1 tablespoon red onion, diced
1/2 tablespoon green pepper, diced
1/2 ripe avocado
2 tablespoons salsa
1/4 lime, juiced with pulp

Combine above ingredients in a bowl and mix with a handheld potato masher or your hand until well blended. Do not over blend, as the pieces of vegetable and avocado will look nice in the butter once chilled and sliced.

Once blended, place the butter onto a piece of wax paper and roll it up into a 1 1/2 inch diameter tube. Place in the freezer or refrigerator to set up.

Once the butter is firm, you can slice it into 1/2 inch slices and top off your favorite steak or grilled fish. It's also great on fresh steamed asparagus or beets.
