Smoky Tomato Guac

I thought it was about time I gave you a savory snack break from all of the tasty sweets I've been posting lately.  This recipe is a wonderful example of how smoky flavors pair really well with avocado.  The secret is to use a really nice smoked sea salt.  Pair this with your favorite chips or crackers for a fresh and satisfying snack, or whip some up for a party.  This would be ideal for a summer barbeque.




Smoky Tomato Guac
1 avocado, peeled and pitted
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 teaspoon smoked sea salt
½ lime
Paprika

1.      In a small bowl, mash the avocado, leaving a few bite sized chunks.  Squeeze the juice from the lime and add it to the guac.  Stir in the tomato and smoked sea salt.  Do not over stir, or the guac will become too mushy.  It will look fresher and more appealing if there are bites of avocado in the mix.
2.      Sprinkle with paprika, and serve.
