Low fat Guacamole Dip
Guacamole may be one of my favorite dips. It’s creamy and
delicious and not to mention good for you! But, even though it’s loaded with
good fats, too many fats will not make you skinny. So I created a low fat
guacamole recipe for you to use when you are being extra careful with your diet
and are needing to cut back on the healthy but good extras. This dip still has
that creamy texture, bright colors and great taste, and you can also use it as
a low fat pesto sauce by substituting the cilantro for Italian parsley and the
pistachios for pine nuts! Hope you enjoy! J
