Ingredients

  • 3 ripe avocados
  • ½ cup salsa
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp cumin (optional)
  • 1 lime (juiced, optional)

Instructions

  • Cut the avocados in half and carefully remove the pit.
  • Scoop out the flesh of the avocados and place in a medium bowl.
  • Add the salsa, spices, and lime juice and mash with a fork until everything is evenly mixed, but still lumpy.
  • Serve with veggie sticks or grain-free chips for a healthy and filling meal or snack.

Notes

Using pre-made salsa makes this recipe incredibly easy and fast. If you don't have any organic or homemade salsa or don't like the flavor of salsa in guacamole, substitute:
  • 1 medium size tomato, diced
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely diced
  • 2 TBSP fresh cilantro, chopped
