1/5 of an avocado (1 oz. serving) has 50 calories, 4.5 gm fat and nearly 20 vitamins and minerals. Although avocados have more fat than any other fruit, they are heart-healthy mono and polyunsaturated fats that may help reduce cholesterol levels and heart disease risk when consumed in moderation.
Ingredients:
3 (about 3 cups) avocados, diced
1 cup fresh tomato salsa, or other prepared salsa
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
Using a potato masher, mash diced avocados in a medium bowl, leaving them a little chunky. Add salsa, lemon juice and salt; stir to combine. Yields 8 servings.
