Who doesn’t love a great guac? While avocados are so good for us and we can enjoy them on a daily basis, minding the serving size is key. Whenever I make guacamole, I try to complement the avocado with a vegetable to bulk it up and reduce the amount of avocado in the recipe. Cucumber is great because it is refreshing and does not alter the flavor. Zucchini would be great too. Serve with sliced radishes or jicama instead of tortilla chips for a low carb snack or appetizer.
