Guacamole is a great dip, salad dressing, or topping for meats, poultry, seafood, or as a topper on potatoes.

1/4 tsp. ground cumin, optional
Directions:
1. Mix avocado and lemon juice.
2. Stir in salsa to taste.
3. Add cumin if desired.
4. Store in covered container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Makes 4 servings.

This guacamole works great with these awesome baked Chili Lime Chips (see number 1 in a previous ZIED GUIDE blog post, 7 Light Bites & Tasty Treats). Enjoy!

Currently obsessed with sweet potato hummus. I love guac though, it will always have a place in my heart.
