Be sure to offer it with smart dipping sticks, such as crunchy celery stalks, carrots, bell peppers, or Spice Boys Corn Chips, page 298. You can also mix in two or more of the boosters below, up to a total of about 1⁄4 cup booster per 1 cup of store-bought guacamole.

1 cup of guacamole

Combine the White Bean Puree with store-bought guacamole, mixing until well blended.
