Guacamole Spread and Dip

I fell in love with Guacamole since I studied in USA, my favorite breakfast was home-made whole grain toast with guacamole spread and grapeseed oil veganaise sandwiches.  I am missing it!!!  
Even though I can get the grapeseed oil veganaise at here anymore, but I still able to make Guacamole, because it is a simple recipe and the ingredients are not hard to find.


Ingredients: 
a. 1 ripe avocado, mash with a fork and stir till creamy
b. 1 small onion, finely chopped
c. 1 small tomato, diced
d. 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice
e. a pinch of sea salt
f.  1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves (optional)

Mix all the ingredients together and spread on toasts or serve with your favorite corn chips. 

Note:  
Guacamole does not keep well, it oxidizes in the air.  Make it at the last moment before serving.

Red Dragon Fruit Konnyaku Jelly

Last time I made Konnyaku Jelly and my families really enjoy it.  I made more today because I got a red dragon fruit from my mother's farm.  I always want to give this a try, because I know that this fruit's natural color will make the jellies look appetite and nice.  
What I did was put some finely diced dragon fruit in each mold.  Poured the boiled Konnyaku jelly into the mold and used a chopstick to stir it until the color mix well.  I was so happy because it appeared just like what I expected.   The little tiny black seeds even made the jellies look fresh and cute.   



Put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
