Guacamole

Thanks to "Forbidden Foods Diabetic Cooking" for sharing this recipe on the internet.


Preparation time: 20 minutes

Cooking time: none

Serves: 16 Serving size: 2 Tbsp

Yes, avocados are loaded with fat, but it’s mostly the heart-healthy monounsaturated kind. More good news: you can enjoy them guilt-free in this cool, classic dip. Add more jalapeños if you’re the heat-loving type. This guacamole is full of chunks and color, like the traditional version.
Serves: 16

1 ripe medium avocado, peeled, pitted and cut into chunks
1/4 cup fat-free sour cream
2 small plum tomatoes, diced
1/4 cup diced seedless cucumbers
1/4 medium red onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1-2 small jalapeño peppers, seeded and finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt

1. In a medium bowl with a fork, mash the avocado with the sour cream (there
should be small chunks remaining).
2. Add the tomatoes, cucumber, onion, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeños, and
salt; stir lightly until well blended.



This dip is best when served immediately. To store, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
