guacamole
Posted on: March 12th, 2013 by yum vege
This tasty recipe for fresh guacamole is inspired by a tasty dish we had in Mexico. Grab some chips. We like the blue ones.
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe avocadoes
- 1 small tomato, chopped into very small chunks
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tsp cilantro, finely chopped
- 1/2 small red onion
- 2 clove garlic
- 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 drops hot sauce
Directions:
- In large bowl chop and stir the avocado to a smooth yet still chunky texture.
- Add garlic, cilantro, onion, lemon juice and stir.
- Add the tomotoes, salt pepper and hot sauce to taste.
- Grab some chips.
Cooking Tip: Reducing the amount of fat, sugar or salt
In most recipes you can cut back on the amount of fat, sugar or sodium in the recipe. Generally, I have reduced the amount of each by 1/3 and the recipes have always tasted delicious. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 stick of butter, I use 2/3 stick. In addition, by reducing the amount of cheese or using a low-fat alternative, you can still make great recipes with less fat and calories. Note: If making bread or something that requires yeast, be sure to use the recommended amount of salt.
For you VEGAN phobes out there, just because something is vegan doesn't mean there is something weird in there (necessarily!). Plenty of foods don't contain animal products and you don't even know it. Give these recipes a try!
