Memorial Day is an opportunity to remember and honor people who have sacrificed their time and lives for our Country. Which is an important thing to reflect on.
It also means BBQ’s, parties, and get together’s where people like to plow through a few tons of chips & dips and drink a few too many cervezas. Then they end up digging themselves out of seven layers of guilt.
I can help with at least part of that with the unbelievably good (and healthy) guacamole recipe.
So this awesome recipes comes from my beautiful wife Krystal and it truly one of the healthiest things you can eat. The kiddo even loves it!
Many still do not know that avocados are incredibly nutritious and contain a wide variety of nutrients, including 20 different vitamins and minerals and some of the healthiest fats on the planet. This is a dip you can eat guilt free 🙂
Here is you Memorial Day Guacamole:
Ingredients
3 large ripe avocados
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 of a jalapeno pepper (optional), finely chopped
1/2 of a lime
salt to taste
Scoop the avocados into a medium bowl and lightly mash with fork Add shallot, cilantro, garlic, and pepper if using. Mix in evenly with avocados using fork to mash any lumps. Squeeze the juice from the lime over mixture and continue blending until smooth. Add salt to taste. Cover and refrigerate for one hour.
And instead of chips try using jicama, cucumber or other sliced veggies to dip.
It’s full of flavor and won’t wreak havoc on your waistline.
It’t really that simple! Now you can make your Memorial Day even better with this crazy good guacamole.
As always, let me know if you have any questions!
