Guacamole
Avocados are a great source of
heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
AND a recent
study revealed that the fats in avocados actually
contribute to the absorption of carotenoids
(antioxidants found in bright red, orange and yellow
veggies). So, having higher levels of these
carotenoids in your body may actually help decrease
your risk of heart disease and some cancers.
So don't be shy! Enjoy your guacamole (but keep your portions under control :o)
Ingredients:
Serves 4
2 ripe avocados
1/2 onion
1/2 tomato
