We used the avocado from last week's Farm Share to make this wonderful dip, which is not only good straight up on a tortilla or pita chip but also amazingly complimented a spicy tuna dish we made for our celebration of Valentine's Day (feel the love). I'm looking forward to drizzling it on some veggie wraps this coming week.
