Sometimes something as simple as a dip can make my day! Guacamole is one such, that can uplift my spirits no matter what. I have to be honest - I do not like avocados. I wanted to include that in my diet when I got to know that it was a nutrition powerhouse and especially good for women. Though the calories in an avocado is high, these fats are actually mono saturated and thought to reduce blood cholesterol. But, the very taste of it (or should I say the lack of it?!) was very off putting. Then one day, we went to a Mexican restaurant for the very first time and I got introduced to guacamole. It was such a game changer. Now, THIS I could love.

The bland avocado when combined with onion, garlic, lemon and some seasoning suddenly morphs into a super flavorful dish. Of course with time, I have come to dress it up in many other way that suits my palate and have come to appreciate it even more. I find myself stocking up on avocados every week nowadays. When the evening "danger" pangs hit me, instead of reaching out for junk, I make myself this dip. Paired with some baked corn chips, its filling and very satisfactory. At the end of it, I get up feeling guilt free.
