Low Fat Guacamole (Edamole)
Servings: 4
Description:
This 'edamole' doesn't taste the same as guacamole and the texture is a little different, but it's a great substitution and can easily pass for the real thing when slipped into burritos and layered bean dips.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups frozen edamame (soy beans), thawed
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 whole small limes, juiced
- a dash of cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp cumin
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro
- 1 whole garlic clove
- ½ whole sweet onion
- 1 whole tomato, diced
Instructions:
Combine all ingredients except tomatoes in a food processor and blend until smooth, scraping sides as necessary. If its too rustic, add 1-2 tbsp water. Stir in tomatoes and serve.
For a truly fat-free knock off, try using 2 cups of frozen peas (thawed). Also, a little avocado can go a long way. If desired, add 2-4 tbsp avocado for a more authentic taste but still with a lot less fat!
