How to Make Low-fat Guacamole

This is one of my favorite recipes for low-fat guacamole.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 large ripe avocodos
• 2 tablespoon lime juice
• 3 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 clove of garlic finely diced
• 2 small tomatoes finely chopped
• 1 small or medium sweet onion finely diced (recommend using food processor)
• 2 tablespoon chopped green or red chilis

1. Cut avocados in half, remove pit and peel. Mash the avocados in a bowl until smooth.

2. Mix the remaining ingredients (chilies, lime, cilantro, salt, garlic, tomatoes, and onion). I highly recommend blending the garlic and onion in a food processor prior to mixing them in the guacamole.

3. Cover and refrigerate at least one hour prior to serving. It is important that you let sit for one or more hours so that the flavors have a chance to saturate naturally.

4. Serve with warmed tortilla chips or on sandwiches. I guarantee that your guests will go back for seconds so you may want to make a double batch!

5. Extra Note: Make sure that the avocados are ripe. To find a ripe avocado, find ones that are soft when lightly squeezed (they are two soft if they feel as though skin may tear).
