RECIPES

Whether I’m in the middle of a health reboot, or just feeling a little hangry, I’m always looking for the perfect, healthy snack. Enter Anti-Inflammatory Guac!

Cut up some veggies (in place of tortilla chips) and this makes the perfect snack! My fave guac-scooper is sliced yellow or orange peppers. The crunch makes it just as satisfying as a chip!

Also, between you and me... I don't really measure things. And especially for guac, you can eyeball it! Add more or less tomatoes, you cannot add too much lime (you can always drain it out) and... I love cilantro so I tend to have a heavy hand with that.

Did you know cilantro:
- helps to rid the body of heavy metals
- protects against oxidative stress
- helps to reduce anxiety 
- lowers blood sugar levels
- and supports heart health!

Anti-Inflammatory Guacamole

2 large avocados (about 9 ounces each), peeled, pitted, and cut into 3/4 inch pieces
1/2 cup diced red onion
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
5 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon minced jalapeño pepper (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

INGREDIENTS you'll need

Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
Start by preparing all your ingredients. Peel and pit the avocados, then cut them into 3/4 inch pieces. Dice the red onion, chop the tomatoes, and measure out your chopped cilantro. If you like more heat, feel free to add extra minced jalapeño pepper.

Step 2: Combine Everything in a Bowl
Grab a medium-sized bowl and place all your prepared ingredients into it. That includes your avocado pieces, diced red onion, chopped tomatoes, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño pepper, fresh lime juice, and kosher salt.

Step 3: Gently Mix
Using a spoon, gently mix the ingredients together until they’re well combined but still chunky. Be careful not to mash the avocados too much; we want to keep that wonderful chunky texture.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Your Chunky Avocado Salsa is ready to be enjoyed! Serve it with your favorite fresh, raw vegetables, or as a delightful accompaniment to grilled chicken or fish.
