This from a Good Seasons recipe card. It is super easy. I don’t add the sugar. It makes a nice change from guacamole.
3 large ripe avocados, peeled
1 large package cream cheese, softened
1 envelope Good Seasons Old Fashion French Salad dressing mix
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Mash avocados. Combine all ingredients in mixing bowl. Beat with electric mixer until smooth, or press through a sieve and mix well. Makes about 3 1/2 cups dip.

Today’s retro appetizer courtesy of the jar of chutney minus a tablespoon in my fridge. You see, the recipe I used it for didn’t knock anyone’s socks off and it has languished there for some time. This recipe will work for using it up and pleasing the family. Since it is from the Spin Cookery Blender Cookbook from Oster(1967) the grind is all about using your blender. However, it may be easier for you to use a food processor if you have one. This works well on crackers, apples, or sweet breads.
Chutney Cheese Spread
1 8 oz package cream cheese, cubed
3/4 cup chutney
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
Flaked coconut
Grind first 6 ingredients 45 seconds, stopping motor to push ingredients to blades, if necessary. Chill. Garnish with flaked coconut. Makes 2 cups
