Guacamame

Green With Envy
There's a ton of healthy guacamole recipes out there  but few taste as authentic as this recipe from Isa Chandra Moscowitz. Some of the avocado is replaced with edamame to reduce the fat content a little bit while still maintaining the creamy, delicious texture.

Guacamame
Gluten Free
Serves 2

Ingredients--
2 oz. avocado, sliced
1/2 cup frozen edamame, completely thawed
2 tbsp. water
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp lime juice
1/3 cup diced tomatoes
1 tbsp. fat free greek yogurt
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
2 tbsp. cilantro, chopped

1. Place the avocado and edamame in a food processor. Pulse until everything is well chopped.

2. Add the water, salt, & lime juice, and puree until relatively smooth. Scrape down the sides as necessary to ensure everything gets mixed.

3. Add the tomatoes, yogurt, cayenne, cumin, and cilantro. Pulse a few times, just until everything is incorporated.

4. Transfer to serving bowl and taste for salt and seasoning.
