I absolutely love guacamole - good old fashioned guac with avocado, lime, red onion, and jalapenos. But my whole avocado loving world changed when my friend brought over guacamole with FETA cheese in it. Not normal, I know, but please trust me on this and try it out. This "guacamole" recipe is so good you will probably want to eat the whole bowl yourself...oh wait, that's what my husband did with the bowl Kim brought over! Ok, ok fine that also what I did when I made my own version the next day! Point being, it's awesome.
This is what I came up with when I tried to re-invent Kim's awesome guac...
You will need:
2 large tomatoes, chopped
2-3 ripe avocados - chopped
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1 large clove garlic, minced/pressed
1 Tbs parsley, chopped
1 Tbs olive oil
1 Tbs red wine vinegar
1/2 cup feta cheese, chopped (I prefer to use the block of feta and cut it up yourself so you can control how large the chunks are)
S&P to taste
To Make:
Now here is the complicated part...but if I can do it, you can do it! In a bowl, combine everything but the feta and toss. Tough stuff, I know, I will try for something a little more challenging next time.
The avocado will break apart a bit but I think leaving it chunkier is better (as opposed to smooth creamy like in traditional guac). Chop feta and add to bowl and toss.

Serve with tortilla chips and be careful to not eat the whole bowl before your guests arrive (or just make a double batch so you can eat as much as you want).
And thanks Kim for the great idea! Feta really does make everything BETTA!
