From Denny: Want an easy dip that is quick to make in this summer heat? Who wants to spend time working in a hot kitchen when you can be out by the pool munching, right?
Try this refreshing dip with avocado. The creamy concoction is made with two mashed avocados, some finely chopped pecans or walnuts - your choice - and lime juice, a little mayonnaise, a little sour cream, white wine, cayenne pepper, salt and dill for seasoning.
Serve slathered on your favorite toasted bread or with white corn tortilla chips or even fruit.
