4. Next, add the Guacamole Spice pack.

NOTE: To prevent the guacamole mix’s color from changing, using guacamole spices is crucial. 
If you add tomatoes and onions to your guac mix or even salsa, as I’ve seen in some recipes, your Grinch will change colors.

5. Try creating your guacamole spice blend if you can’t find one in a package by combining paprika, ground cumin, dried red bell pepper, garlic powder, tsp onion powder, adding ground pepper and sea salt.

Yield: 1 Guacamole dip
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes

This adorable grinch guacamole dip will be the hit of any Christmas party!

Ingredients

  • 4 Avacados
  • 15-20 cherry tomatoes diced (depending on size)
  • 3 tablespoons of guacamole spice mix (we used Epicure Guacamole Dip Mix)
  • 2 green stuffed olives
  • 2 black kalamata olives
  • Juice of half a lemon

Instructions

    Start by cutting all avocados in half and removing pits. Then, take a spoon and slide it gently between the skin of the avocado to separate it from the flesh. 

    Once all avocado pieces have been properly skinned, mash them with a fork or blend them in a food processor.

    Add half a lemon juice to your avocado mash and combine well. This is a very important step because the lemon juice will prevent the avocado from turning brown.

    Next, add the Guacamole Spice pack. NOTE: It’s important to use a guacamole spice so as to not change the color of the guacamole mix. If you add tomatoes, salsa, or onions to your guacamole mix, your Grinch will change colors.

    Chop the cherry tomatoes up into small pieces to make the Santa hat and the nose of the Grinch.

    Slice Kalamata olives into thin, lengthwise strips. These slices will be used to create the Grinch's mouth.

    Place your guacamole mixture on a serving tray and form it into a Grinch face. 

    To shape the Grinch's mouth, cut the olives into thin strips. Place two green olives as eyes, ensuring the red peppers are visible.

    Finish the Grinch’s face by adding two black olive slices for eyebrows and a small diced tomato triangle for his nose.

    Arrange a stack of round tortilla chips at the top of the Grinch's head, then shape your diced cherry tomatoes into Santa's hat. Be sure to add one chip at the tip to resemble a white pompom.

    Serve your guacamole dip alongside chips or crackers. You can also include carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, or any other veggies of your choice. This recipe is the ultimate Grinch-themed treat – guacamole dip!
