New year ... new post :)
Wish you all had a great start to the new year.
I am not one for new year's resolution ! But for the last couple of weeks me and my family are consciously indulging into healthy diet and hoping this continues as our everyday habit this year :)
Our new healthy snack addiction these days has been Guacamole - an avocado based sauce which originates from Mexico.
There are tones of information on the web with health benefits of this fruit.
And equal number of interesting Avocado recipes.
In the past in an attempt to introduce Avocado to our diet, I used to mix it with wheat flour in making Indian bread like roti/chapatis.
After having tried Guacamole, I am sure I would love to eat Avocados in this form instead :)
You could choose to eat this sauce with chips/nachos/pita or healthier options like toast, sandwich, roti or even Idli and dosa.
The secret lies in choosing the perfectly ripe Avocado. I found this link useful.
To make Guacamole, there are many recipes with various combination of ingredients. I started with this .
My favorites so far are those in photograph above - Onions (Red onions works better), jalapenos (I read black pepper is a good substitute but I prefer chilies !), Tomatoes, lime, coriander (I love lots of lime and coriander), salt (liberal amount) and of course Avocado !
I recently added sweet corns to this and that tastes wonderful too !
So give your own interesting recipe to this healthy fruit and stay healthy this new year !
