Lightened Up Guacamole
3 Weight Watchers Points+
Have some avocados lying around that need to be used up? Whip this quick guacamole recipe. Like I need more of an excuse to eat guacamole, Avocados have a multitude of health benefits. They aide in better nutrition absorption, are heart healthy, can help lower cholesterol and help burn fat…just to name a few benefits. This guacamole is great with chips or spread on a sandwich instead of mayonnaise.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe Hass Avocado
- 1 tomato
- ½ onion (preferably red)
- ¼ cup fat free Greek yogurt
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 TBS chopped cilantro
- ¼ – ½ jalapeno (optional)
- 1 lime
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Plastic Wrap
First take ½ of the avocado and mix it with the Greek yogurt, reserve the other half of the avocado to fold in later. I like to leave my guacamole rather chunky. If you prefer a smoother guacamole, mix the whole avocado with the Greek yogurt
Add the minced jalapeño (remove seeds and ribs…its where all the major heat lives)
Then the chopped cilantro
Next, Onion
Seed the tomato, dice and add it along with the garlic to the remaining ingredients.
Season with Salt and mix well.
Fold in the remaining avocado and some lime juice (about 1/2 lime)
Serve with your favorite chip. Enjoy!
