I made this guacamole dip tonight. Got the recipe sent to my inbox from pcrm.org. Here’s the link:

It’s the best guacamole dip ever, beats Renee’s guacamole. And that’s saying something.
We love the taste. We also love that it’s so low fat. Note here in the recipe a can of peas.
1 cup drained and rinsed canned green peas, or 1 cup fresh or frozen green peas
1 ripe avocado
1/2 cup mild salsa
1 garlic clove, minced or pressed (about 1 teaspoon)
1 green onion, thinly sliced (we used 1/4 of a white onion)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
Guacamole dip is great. But it’s got a lot of fat, because avocados are high in fat.
Not this one. The peas add a lot of volume. I’ve never liked peas. When I was a kid, the only way I’d eat them was with ice-cream. Now I love peas. Renee noted that her guacamole dip used 4 or 5 avocados to get the same volume. So with this champion guacamole, we’re not taking near the fat or calorie hit. Yeah, man. The Champion Guacamole is low fat, healthy, and yummy. It’s La Bomba.
