Garlic Guacamole

This classic guacamole is the perfect appetizer or side dish for any of our meal ideas. Avocado and tomatoes provide the base for this dip while lemon juice, chilies, and garlic bring the perfect blend of flavors. Enjoy with chips, fresh tortillas, or alongside any of your favorite Mexican dishes.

We upgrade standard guacamole by adding fresh ripe mango to make it sweeter and yet tangy with a squeeze of lemon juice; for an extra kick, add serrano chili. Serve this sweet and tangy guacamole with vegetable chips, pita chips, pretzels or as spread on bread.

Surprise your vegan guests with this lovely vegan-style hummus. Instead of using chickpeas like traditional recipes, this hummus features pureed edamame beans and avocado. These are mixed with tahini, lemon juice, and aromatic spices. It has a beautiful green hue, and a nutty crunch, thanks to toasted pine nuts. This recipe is healthy, delicious, and attractive in a serving bowl.

If you need quick dinner ideas, this simple sandwich is a healthy and unusual treat that will keep people coming back for more. Guacamole and fried egg might seem like an odd combination, but the two tastes blend together wonderfully to create a nutritious, all-natural dish. And the additional spices make the flavor even more striking.
