1 avocado ($.78)

1/2 medium onion ($.05)

1 clove garlic, pressed

2 tablespoon olive oil ($.10)

Finely dice a 2 inch piece of cucumber and set aside for later. In a blender, puree rest of the cucumber, avocado, 1/4 of the onion, garlic, and olive oil. Chop the cucumber and avocado first to make blending easier. Add the water as needed for blending. Let this blend for a minute or two, to get really creamy. Salt and pepper to taste.
