Super Fast Guacamole

Avacado is a power fruit. It has many, many health benefits (google it if you don't believe me!), and it tastes pretty good, too. I love adding it to salads, sandwiches, dips, etc. My boys even enjoyed it as one of their first foods - just peel, mash and serve. Guacamole (made with avacado) makes a wonderful snack choice. There are many different ways to make it, including this SUPER easy way. It's a bit of a cheat, but it tastes great. And all you need is 3 ingredients. Enjoy

*When buying an avacado, look for one that isn't too firm, but not shriveled either. If you can just slightly dent the top when you push lightly with your thumb, it's ripe and ready to eat right away. If you can't find a ripe one, place your avacado in a paper bag on the counter, along with a ripe apple or banana, and it will ripen much sooner.

*When buying the salsa for this recipe, look for one with the fewest ingredients. Well, few of the "unknown" ingredients. Read the label and try to avoid the salsas with lots of additives and preservatives. If you look, you can find one!

Super Fast Guacamole

• 1 large, ripe avacado
• 1/2 cup Garlic and Lime Salsa (this make the best gauc...if you can't find it, use regular salsa and add a squirt of lime juice)
• 1/4 tsp cumin

1. Cut avacado in half. Use a knife to remove the pit (chop at it so knife sticks in pit, then gently twist to loosen. You can knock the pit off the knife by tapping it on the side of a bowl). Scoop avacado from skin and place in bowl. Mash with fork, until only small lumps remain.
2. Add salsa and cumin to bowl and stir to combine. Serve with nachos and ENJOY!
