Guacamole Potato Salad

Guacamole Potato Salad
Serving Size : 8 
3 pounds red potatoes
2 tablespoons plus 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 ripe avocado -- peeled
2 teaspoons grated lime zest
1/2 cup lime juice (Juice of 2 limes)
2 garlic cloves -- crushed
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 celery stalks -- sliced
In a large pot, cover the potatoes with cold water. Add the 2 tablespoons
of salt and bring the potatoes to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to
medium and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes or until
you can pierce them easily with a paring knife. Drain them in a colander
and allow to cool.
Meanwhile, puree the avocado, lime zest and juice, garlic, cilantro,
mayonnaise, and remaining salt in a food processor until smooth. If the
dressing seems too thick, add a tablespoon or so of hot water.
Cut the potatoes into bite-size chunks (leave the skins on) and place them
in a large bowl with the celery. Scrape in the dressing with a rubber
spatula and gently stir it all together. Serve immediately, or cover and
chill. 
Serves 8 to 10.
