Guacamole – Avocado walnut dip/spread
About:
Guacamole, a Mexican dish consists primarily mashed avocado. A small amount of seasonings such as lemon juice, chili powder, onion, tomatoes and cilantro are often added to enhance the flavor. For extra nutty taste I included walnut in this dip as a variation.
You can use guacamole as a dip, topping or as a side dish. This is commonly served with tortilla chips in Mexican restaurants. This can also be used as a dip for salad vegetables rather than chips which lowers the calorie intake.
Health Benefits:
Avocados and therefore guacamole provide a good source of energy and fat. How ever the fat present is healthy unsaturated fat, which is a type of fat beneficial to your health. As this fat digest slowly, it keeps you full for longer. this factor aids in weight loss when eaten in moderation.
Yields: 1 cup
Preparation time: 15 minutes
