****Holy Guacamole****

Hi Guys,
I love Guacamole, but the high points from the avocado can make you go on a points overload. To solve this dilemma I've created a low point, huge portion of guacamole for you to all enjoy with your baked chips :-). This is also a great recipe to make and bring to a party, atleast you'll have something to dip your chip in.
Here are the deets for the recipe:
1/2 Avocado
Juice of half a lime
Salt/Pepper to taste
1/2 small Red Onion, finely diced
1/2 Beefsteak Tomato, deseeded, finely diced
1/2 Jalapeno FINELY diced
1/2 c. blanched Peas (as I like to say, trust me on this), pureed
  1. Put your Avocado in a bowl, and with a fork, mash it up
  2. Add the juice of the lime (this will add a nice tang and prevent the guac from browning)
  3. Add the salt/pepper, Red Onion, Tomato, Jalapeno and pureed Peas
  4. Stir with your fork

You'll notice when you blanch the peas, they will be a bright green color, and after they have been pureed, you'll have a smooth green paste. The peas add volume to the guac, and trust me, you won't even taste them!!

This huge recipe serves atleast two people -seriously this is a huge portion and can probably be split even more! If divided by two, this recipes is only 2.5 points!!! This is sooo not bad compared to other 8 point servings!!!

I hope you guys try this recipe out!!
