This is a delicious recipe, but remember "everything in moderation"! - while this recipe is high in fat from the avocados, most of the fat in the avocado is monounsaturated (the "good" kind that lowers cholesterol levels)
Ingredients
- 3 avocados - peeled, pitted, and mashed
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 pinch ground cayenne pepper (optional)
Instruction
- In a medium bowl, mash together the avocados, lime juice, and salt. Mix in onion, cilantro, tomatoes, and garlic. Stir in cayenne pepper. Refrigerate 1 hour for best flavor, or serve immediately. This can be made smooth or chunky depending on your tastes.
