HACK: ANGIE'S HOMEMADE AVOCADO SPREAD

I used to purchase avocado mash at Sam’s some time ago. Then, I decided to stop and created my own spread, fresh and of course, healthier and homemade. It was not a matter of price or taste, but rather the desire to use the ingredients that I want instead of what the company owners want us to eat.
 
You can use my Avocado Spread in sandwiches, crostini’s, or add to a baked potato, or drizzle some hot sauce and use it as a dipping sauce for French fries, etc.
