Green Goodness--Summer Guacamole!

Photo: Homemade guacamole with stuff from the garden plus grocery

Just in time for your 4th of July BBQ--enjoy this HEALTHY guacamole rather than prepackaged! 
 
Green Goodness!
     As you may have guessed, I am on a bit of an organic health kick. Good time of year considering my crazy urban garden is in full swing! I live in suburbia, but have a town home. Therefore, I use this time to grow veggies, fruits, flowers, and herbs either in my home or by potted plants. This yummy concoction--dare I say--rivals that of your popular eateries like Qdoba--or more importantly, Chipolte. It's THAT good--and with fresh ingredients?! You cannot say no to a healthy dose of avo!

Before I sing the praises of avocados and their protein, yet high fats. It also can be used to make your hair soft--and skin soft. Amazing little thing isn't it?

So, here's my recipe for my Green Goodness Guacamole!

2 Haas avocados (Ok, did not grow these, but organic or not at the grocery store--do it!)
1/4 sliced onion (again, not from my garden but I used red onion)
1 garlic clove (organic)
Cilantro leaves to liking
Parsley to liking
My chives probably got meshed in accidentally as well. 
Lime juice!!
BLEND!

I think I may run tomatoes and corn through mine before serving, however--it tastes delicious without. I also used my Magic Bullet--but you can use your food processor, blender, Ninja, etc. You may need to add a bit of water to assist if it gets clogged with the creamy avo. 

Enjoy :)!
