Boosted Layer Guacamole

Easy, extra healthy and naturally gluten free!

This delicious guacamole was actually an accident. I had recently purchased a bunch of fruits and veggies to make myself an indulgent GF veggie sub using new GF loaf bread I discovered. So most of those ingredients ended up in this dish.

This guacamole sneaks in a lot of healthy veggies that don't normally make it into the popular party dip.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: none
Serves: 1

Ingredients:

Guacamole
1/2 Hass avocado
juice of 1/2 lemon (may use lime instead)
handful of fresh cilantro
handful of fresh spinach
a few slices of cucumber
a few rings of red onion
2 baby carrots, chopped
dash black pepper
dash garlic powder
three dashes hot sauce (optional: I prefer Lousiana Hot Sauce)

Layers
Spoonful of Organic Sour Cream (may sub fat free sour cream)
1/2 cup medium chunky salsa (I used La Victora Salsa Suprema)

Dippers
baby carrots
Reduced-Guilt Corn Tortilla Chips

In a personal blender (I use one called The Rocket by Bella Kitchen), combine all guacamole ingredients. Blend until smooth.

Pour guacamole into a martini glass. Top guacamole with salsa and dollop of sour cream. Enjoy.

Lots of healthy ingredients but easy to make. You could add garnish if you want but you live alone... do you really need garnish?

*Note - The watery nature of the cucumber makes the guacamole a little thinner than typical guacamole. If you prefer thick guacamole, I suggest skipping the cucumber.

Including the layered portions (not the dippers), these are the veggies/fruits that are present in this fantastic dip:

avocado
tomato
garlic
red onion
santa fe chiles
carrot
cucumber
spinach
cilantro
lemon

That's 10 fruits/veggies people!
