GUACAMOLE
This simple guac recipe focuses on the freshness of the ingredients while giving a kick from the citrus and tabasco.
Ingredients + Preparation
- Avocado (Two, sliced into cubes)
- Coriander (1 cup, chopped)
- Small red onion (One, finely diced)
- Jalapeno: Fresh or pickled (2 tbsp, minced)
- Lime (Half, for juicing)
- Tabasco (3 shakes, more if you want it spicier)
- Salt & pepper (To taste)
Instructions
1. Add avocado, coriander, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice and tabasco to the mixing bowl.

Mama's Wisdom
Avocados are a good source of omega-6 fatty acids (or PUFA, "poly-unsaturated fatty acids"), which are healthy fats. One serving of guac delivers 2g of protein, a small amount of potassium, vitamin C and fiber. Eat as much of this guilt free as you want!
