A perfect appetizer for a festive dinner!

Unlike the traditional latticework used for such pies, this decoration will look more festive and impressive, especially when you sprinkle the dough with coarse turbinado sugar.

For a more dramatic presentation, arrange blue corn chips around the guacamole, scoop them up, and enjoy.

Fennel and Pear Salad with Grapes and Pecans

Despite the abundance of fruit in this salad, it's not served as a dessert, but as a side dish with meat.
