Healthy Guac and Pico de Gallo

Two of my favorite dips are guacamole and pico de gallo.  I dip everything and anything in it and I put guacamole and pico de gallo on top of everything! Eggs, burgers, burritos, quinoa...you name it! Pico de gallo is very healthy and simple-fresh veggies, herbs, and lemon juice! Its a much healthier option than ketchup or salsa.  Guacamole on the other hand isn't always so healthy, but I found a way to healthify it by using greek yogurt! The recipe for the guac is also very simple and easy to make. I hope you enjoy these two simple, healthy dips!

Guacamole with Greek Yogurt

• 1/2 cup of non-fat, plain greek yogurt
• 1 ripe avocado
• 2 small tomatoes, chopped
• 1/2-1 freshly squeezed lime juice
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/4 tsp of cumin
• salt and pepper to taste
• paprika or tabasco sauce to taste

1. Chop up your tomatoes and mince your garlic. Set aside.
2. Mash up your avocado and stir in your greek yogurt. Put your lime juice in immediately to keep the avocado from browning.
3. Stir in the tomatoes, garlic, and spices mentioned above into your avocado mixture.
4. Enjoy!

For more flavor, add: cilantro, onions, jalapenos, and other spices.

Pico de Gallo

• 2 roma tomatoes, chopped
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 small jalapeno pepper, diced, optional
• 1 handful of fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
• 1/2 of a fresh lime or lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste

1. Chop up all of your veggies and mix together.
2. Add in the cilantro, lemon/lime juice, and salt/pepper to your veggie mixture, mix and stir it all together.
3. Enjoy!

Feel free to mess around with this recipe-add more tomatoes, spicy peppers or other herbs!

 *I personally do not add salt to either of these recipes, but that's only because I've trained my taste buds to not like salt. By all means though, add what you need to make it as tasty as can be for yourself :) *
