Candlelite Inn Guacamole

Famous Candlelite Inn Guacamole

If you are some of the folks I grew up with, lived in the same area, lived in the Arlington area, or the DFW area  you  know about the guacamole at the Candlelite Inn.  
Who didn’t love the Candlelite?  Yes it is still a favorite place to go even today full of memories.
Red and white table cloths cover the tables with privacy booths that we all remember sitting in during dates after Homecoming or football games.  
At the Candlelite they serve their guacamole as a topping for a salad of iceberg lettuce and tomatoes.  Topping it all off is a couple of fresh onion rings and olives.  Yes olives!
Ok, so here it is, the recipe for that famous guacamole or hopefully close to it as they keep the original recipe under lock and key! This recipe uses tomatillos, maybe they use green tomatoes, but  I hope  it brings back memories as it does with me.

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 Haas Avocados
  • 3-5 tomatillos to measure 1 cup or 2 green tomatoes to make 1 cup
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp plain white vinegar
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp vegetable or canola oil
  • 2 tbsp water

Instructions
 

  • If the tomatillos still have the papery husky remove it and wash them. Roughly chop them and put them in a food processor or blender.
    Process the tomatillos until they are a puree. Measure out enough puree to 1 c. Discard the rest. It should be very close to 1 cup.
    Remove the avocados from their skins and place them in the bowl of the food processor or blender. 
  • Pulse just until smooth along with the tomatillo puree, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, 1 T plain white vinegar, 1 T fresh lemon juice, 2 T. water and 1 T. oil. Make sure not to pulse it too long or it will become mousse-like from whipping so much air into the avocados!
  • Top on a salad or just serve with some chips!! Hope you love this as we have bringing back memories of a childhood favorite restaurant.
