Guacamole is the perfect dip. Avocados contain healthy fats that help reduce inflammation and promote fullness. If you love spice, add jalapenos or a dash of cayenne pepper!

Ingredients

  • 2 large avocados
  • ¼ red onion or white
  • 1 medium tomato, chopped
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: jalapenos

Dietitian Tip: Prevent Browning!

Adding lemon juice helps prevent your guacamole from browning. Make sure to cover with cling film or store in an air tight container with the pit to prevent more browning!

  1. Wash avocado. Dice red onion and tomato.
  2. In a medium bowl, add avocados. Mash until smooth. Add chopped red onion, tomatoes, lemon juice, garlic and spices. Mix.
