    Ingredients:

    2 avocados

    1 small onion, chopped

    1 tomato, diced

    1 clove of garlic, minced

    juice of 1 lime

    salt and pepper to taste

    Peel avocados and mash them in a small mixing bowl. Mix in onion, tomato, garlic, lime juice, salt and pepper. To give it an extra kick, we mixed in a small amount of Brother Bru-Bru's chili pepper sauce. Chill and serve on fish tacos or with organic chips.

  • Low-Fat Guacamole

    5 ounces fresh green beans or frozen small whole green beans
    1/2 cup reduced-fat firm or extra-firm silken tofu
    3 tablespoons lemon juice
    2 cloves garlic, crushed
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/4 cup chunky no-sugar-added tomato salsa

    1. Cook the green beans and lima beans in enough water to cover for about 5 minutes or just until tender but not mushy. Drain well, transfer to a food processor, and blend until smooth.
    2. Add the tofu, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and cumin and blend until smooth. Add the salsa and pulse briefly to mix. Scoop into a covered bowl and refrigerate.
