Guacamole

There are many variations on Gaucamole but however you like it Avocados are a great source of good fats, and antioxidants like vitamins E, C and selenium. Plus there are  non-nutrient antioxidants like carotenoids, phytochemicals and polyphenols. These substances aid in removing molecules that attack healthy cells in your body. I know, and they taste fantastic.

Your basic Guacamole

Mash ripe avocados add garlic, lime or lemon juice, salt and diced tomatoes. Season with pepper or chilli and fresh cilantro.

Use as a dip, spread, thin for a creamynutritious dressing and generally use everywhere.  Guacamole doesnt keep very well although the lemon and lime will slow the browning down, make it fresh. It only takes 5 minutes so what are you waiting for?

Raw Hummus

I love hummus on anything but mostly just slathered onto a bowl of finely cut cabbage  or on mung bean sprouts because they make quick filling no fuss salad/ lunch that keeps me going for ages. You can of course do as you please with your hummus.

How about serve as a dip with crunchy vegetables, flax seed crackers, olive oil and a fresh dukkah. Read more
