DINING: Those super avocados

  Here's a bit of Super Bowl trivia you may not have heard: It's the largest consumption day of the year for Haas avocados.
  Yes, no less th an 46.3 million pounds of green creaminess are expected to be consumed on Sunday.
  And of course, the vast majority will be consumed in guacamole. So in honor of the occasion, the Hass Avocado Board has provided a recipe from former NFL great Shannon Sharpe, who knows a few things about the Super Bowl himself. Here it is:
SHANNON SHARPE'S SMOKIN' HOT GUACAMOLE
4 ripe, fresh Hass avocados, seeded, peeled and cut in half
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup finely chopped canned chipotle peppers
In a large bowl, combine the avocado, lemon juice, garlic salt and cumin. Coarsely mash avocado, mixing in all ingredients. Stir in red onion and cilantro. Spoon into a shallow bowl.
Drop small spoonfuls of chipotle peppers over guacamole. Just before serving, stir chipotle into guacamole. Serve with chips and vegetable dippers
