Cobb Guacamole

When I saw this recipe for Cobb Guacamole on Strawberry Cake, I decided right then and there that I was going to make this fabulous looking dip my best girlfriends from college came to visit. I am a fiend for guacamole anyway and this guac is filled with the goodness of a cobb salad: corn, tomatoes, onion, bacon, blue cheese - do I really need to go on? Make this scrumptious dip the next time you have guests, need to bring an appetizer for a picnic or get together, or if you just want something incredible to pig out on! I made taco salad for dinner that night and it was even better topped with a dollop of this delicious cobb guac.

Cobb Guacamole
Ingredients
3 avocados
1 small sweet onion, diced
1 large roma tomato, 2 if small, diced
1 cup canned corn (sweet, no salt added), drained (I used fresh corn on the cob that I boiled first)
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
4 slices thick bacon, fried up crispy
Dressing
1 clove garlic, minced
6 leaves of fresh basil, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
fresh ground pepper, to taste
a dash of Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sugar

Directions
Mix the avocado, onion, corn, and tomato together in a medium sized bowl.
Whisk the dressing ingredients together and pour over the avocados and mix around, squishing the avocados a little as you do. When ready to serve, sprinkle the blue cheese on top, then put the crumbled bacon on top of that. Serve with Tostitos Scoops and enjoy!

  4. The Cobb Guac was soooo delicious, and that's coming from someone who wouldn't normally choose blue cheese! This was delicious and I can't wait to use this at my next party.
