Super Green Guacamole
Super Green Guacamole is a deliciously nutrition-enhanced guac that can be kept refrigerated for at least 2-3 days. An lower fat version can be made by replacing half of the avocado with edamame beans or green peas. Leftover guacamole makes delicious pasta sauce...simply stir into hot fresh pasta.
