LIGHT GUACAMOLE

Light Guacamole image

I love guacamole, but I cant help but think how fattening it is every time I eat it. This recipe cuts down on the fat, without sacrificing any flavor, I actually think it has more! You can change up the ingredients sizes depending on taste, this is just a starter. If you like cilantro add about 5 tablespoons, I dont care for it myself.
