The New Chips & Salsa

Yes. Chips, those lovely tortilla chips covered in salt that taste so good but are so bad - they have tons of calories and fat! But what do you do when you want to munch on some yummy guacamole and chips? Substitute chips with CUCUMBERS! Follow this guac-recipe, chop up some cucumbers - and even some red, green and yellow peppers - and you will have yourself a tastey new treat FULL of vitamins, antioxidants, health fat and of course, FLAVOR!

4-5 Avacados
2 shallots
1/2 onion
1 lime (although you can use lime from a plastic thing if you want :-( )
4 jalapeno peppers (remember to take out the seeds!!!)
Cilantro
Garlic
2 baby tomatoes
Salt

Warning: I don't really 'follow' recipes - I just do So the following 'directions' are my 'do'.
1) peel the avocados, cut up into pieces, put in big bowl
2) cut up shallots, into tiny pieces,
3) cut up half an onion (sweet onion, although you can use a red) into small pieces
4) Chop up jalapenos, removing the core AND SEEDS. Make sure they are finely chopped.
5) chop up/mush that cilantro - make it messy
6) Put 3/4 of a medium size garlic through a garlic press (making it mushy!)
7) chop up them tomatos
8) Add all of the above to #1
9) squeeze that lime in there (the whole thing)
10) add some salt (and salt to your liking post taste)
11) MUSH THOSE INGREDIENTS TOGETHER

Now, let it rest for minute.

Clean your kitchen up.

Chop up some cucumbers. Make sure they are in circles.
Chop up some peppers. Into strips.

NOW DIP, BABY DIP!

















This is such a healthy, delicious and nutritious snack! Have fun - and remember to share: if you dare.
