Guacamole

HOMEMADE Guacamole

In this easy Homemade guacamole recipe has only 114 mg of sodium per 3 tablespoons of guacamole; we mix in a little creamy goat cheese for a tangy version of a classic favorite. Serve it with some crunchy vegetables like celery and carrots.

Ingredients

3 large ripe avocados
2 tablespoons lemon juice
⅓ cup thinly sliced fresh chives

¼ cup crumbled goat cheese

¼ teaspoon ground pepper

Mash avocados, lemon juice and chives with a fork in a medium bowl until half the mixture is smooth and the rest is chunky. Add goat cheese and pepper; gently stir to combine.

HOMEMADE SALSA

Making your own Homemade Salsa is a healthy choice, eliminating the salt and added ingredients from the store ought versions.

Ingredients

1 can of no salt added diced tomatoes

2 green onions, chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 green bell pepper, chopped

1 fresh jalapeño, chopped

1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped

1/2 teaspoon of cumin

1 teaspoon of dried oregano

Pulse all ingredients in a food processor or blender until the larger items are small and chunky – don’t over blend because you’ll end up with a salsa smoothie!

Refrigerate for 2-3 hours to allow the flavors to taste the best.
