Dannii Minogue's Knockout Guacamole

Pop babe Dannii claims you can't buy a guacamole dip as good as hers!

'I made up this recipe when I first moved out of home,' says Danni. 'I was working on the Aussie soap Home And Away and the hours were very long. I couldn't be bothered cooking dinner all the time, so I would just have this with corn chips and my flat mate would make some soup. Nice and easy! It's great for dinner parties. I love this recipe so much. I haven't found a guacamole dip to buy that's nearly as good!'

Ingredients

1 avocado
Tabasco sauce
1 level tsp cumin powder
A few slices of red onion
1 small tomato
Cracked pepper
1tbsp shredded basil
Juice of ¼ lemon or ½ lime

Method

1 Cut the avocado in half and remove the stone. Scoop out the flesh and mash in a bowl with a fork. Add a few drops of Tabasco sauce, the cumin powder and a few slices of red onion (cut up as small as possible).
2 Scoop out the middle of the tomato, strain in a sieve and add to the bowl. Add the cracked pepper and shredded basil. Squeeze in the lemon or lime juice.
3 Mix together and serve with raw veggies of your choice, corn chips or potato wedges.
