I’m going to share a recipe that has become a family tradition in our house. It is a long time party favorite, and has changed many a persons opinion on avocados. Time to share it. Sorry that I couldn’t remember where I found it, so you will have to try my altered version.
LIGHT Guacamole
(Yields 2 Cups)
 |
| (The Guac is on the left, with yellow peppers.) |
1 cup cottage cheese
1 Tbsp sweet onion (or 1 1/2 tsps onion flakes)
1-3 garlic cloves minced (add as many as you think you can handle)
1 tsp salt (add more to taste)
pinch cayenne pepper
3 tsps lemon or lime juice
1-2 avocados (your choice based on how light you want it)
1 sweet bell pepper chopped
- Chop fine the sweet onion, mince the garlic and peel and chunk the ripe avocado(s).
- Process all ingredients but the bell pepper, till smooth. I like to leave some of the avocados chunky but it is your preference again.
- Chop the pepper (red is nicest) and place about a third of it in the bottom of a bowl.
- Add half the guacamole on top of the peppers.
- Scatter more peppers and then add the last of the dip.
- Sprinkle the last of the peppers on top.
- Cover with plastic wrap and be sure the plastic is touching the entire surface of the dip (or it will brown).
- Refrigerate for about 2 hours for best taste. Use up with in 24 hours.
- Serve with Taco style chips or veggies.
