Ingredients
1 ripe avocado (look for one that's soft to the touch with blackish skin)
splash of lemon juice
about 1/2 cup Garden Fresh Gourmet salsa, "Jack's Special" flavor
Preparation
Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, carefully, and remove the center seed. Scrape the pulp into a bowl and use a whisk to break it up and make it smooth. Add a splash of lemon juice to make this easier. Then, spoon in the salsa and stir to combine.
Nutritional information
One avocado has 150 calories, plus 40 calories for 1/2 cup salsa. Count 10 grams of fiber for the avocado. And, 30 grams of fat. (No fiber or fat in the salsa.) I can hear you saying "holy cow!" on the fat. That's a lot. That's like a whole burger's worth. But again, it's the healthy kind, and you're not going to eat it every day. Enjoy it every once in a while. Your heart will enjoy the lack of sodium and cholesterol -- and the presence of lutein, a phytochemical with antioxidant properties.
