Yea, putting it in a food processor is idiotic. How hard is it to chop an avocado, really? You can see in the photo it looks like baby food under the salmon.

I thought it was really tasty. Hubby loved it too. We made it with spinach instead of arugula the second time because that is what we had on hand and that worked well.

This was easy and tasty, although it's not the most visually appealing - the guacamole ends up looking a bit like green goop.
