"Something a bit different - but absolutely delicious. Try these serving ideas: endive or romaine leaves, quartered hard boiled eggs, small roasted or boiled red potatoes and artichoke hearts, celery, scallions, and cherry tomatoes; chicken fingers and rolled up ham or proscuitto are really good; or pita wedges and assorted crackers. Use your imagination and serve your favorites."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Dip ... Dice the avocado and toss with the lemon juice. Then in another bowl, add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Add the avocado and lemon juice and toss lightly, you don't want to "mash" the avocado. Cover well, and refrigerate 15 minutes, then garnish with chives and black olives.
Step 2
Dippers ... Obviously for the vegetables, I just trim and serve; the potatoes and artichokes I prefer to cut in half or quarters, then boil or roast (your choice). Proscuitto, ham and turkey (right from the grocery deli) are wonderful rolled up; baked or pan sauteed chicken fingers are also really nice. But there is always, pita wedges and an assortment of crackers.
Step 3
Serve ... Using a small bread bowl is a great way to display the dip or in a large fresh artichoke, then add all your "dippers" and ENJOY!
