This sounds weird but it's great! Very fast to put together, very flavorful, and much lower in fat and calories than the typical guacamole. I added fresh cilantro before pureeing, and added chopped tomatoes afterward. Those things just suit my personal taste and make it crave-worthy! -
I have to back this one up. I have been making this version of guacamole for a few years now, and it's wonderful! It's very popular with guac lovers AND non-guac lovers, too. I like to add a small amount of cumin and cayenne pepper, and top it with chopped fresh tomatoes.

I live in Omaha NE and am an audiologist at Boys Town National Research Hospital. I love to cook, as does my husband Michael. In the summer, we have a large garden and try to use alot of fresh fruits/veggies in our cooking. We have a 5 year old daughter, Kate and almost 2 year old son Sam and enjoy introducing them to new foods. One of their favorites is fresh pesto smeared on crackers!
