While avacados may contain fat, it is  healthy fat and they are packed full of folic acid and other great vitamins. This dip is easy to make and is always a hit. This is a light twist to classic guacamole. Serve with chips and watch your guests devour.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

3 ripe avacados

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (optional)

1 tbsp lemon juice

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

salt and pepper to taste

Preparation Instructions

Split avacados in half and remove seeds. Scoop out the avacado into a medium size bowl to mix. Use a spoon to break up avacados into chunks. Add remaining ingredients (use salt and pepper for desired taste). With spoon, blend all of the ingredients together, leaving small chunks of avacado for texture.  Serve with favorite tortillia chip (we love the hint of lime chips) and enjoy.
