(NaturalNews) Finally some positive news: Guacamole is good for you. While avocado has a bad reputation as being high in fat, the truth is that it ranks among the healthiest types of vegetable oil. Also, the other ingredients in Guacamole are highly alkalizing, loaded with phytonutrients and feature over 100 known health benefits. It`s essential to make Guacamole fresh however as the many prefabricated mixes (often what restaurants serve) contain no real Avocado! This article will break down each component of Guacamole and provide a recipe at the end.

Salsa Recipe
The following salsa mixture is a prerequisite for Guacamole and can be used in many other recipes or enjoyed straight.
Ingredients
*4 heirloom tomatoes
*2 peppers
*2 garlic cloves
*1 onion
*1/2 cup fresh cilantro
*1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
*1 Tbsp olive oil
*1 Tbsp lemon juice
*1 tsp coriander
*1 tsp cumin

*Add olive oil, lemon and vinegar
*Dice tomato, pepper and onion
*Blend ingredients together with potato masher

Guacamole Recipe
Next, simply stir salsa with fresh avocado, lime and salt for fast guacamole. Mixing the other ingredients together independently is something most restaurants miss (especially those serving "table side" Guacamole). Instead they serve diced vegetables suspended in Avocado. Be careful not to over-mix (green and red make brown). Storing the Avocado seeds in the mixture keeps the guacamole green longer. Refrigerate and consume within 24 hours.
Ingredients
*4 ripe avocados
*1/4 cup salsa
*1 Tbsp lime juice
*1/2 tsp Sea salt
Preparation
*Stir together avocado and salsa
*Add lime juice and salt
________________________
Other Serving Suggestions: Substitute mango for avocado for fast mango salsa (or try peach, banana or blueberry). Fresh salsa can be mixed with ground meat and beans to make fast chili, tomato puree to make fast pasta sauce, black beans to make fast nacho dip, and Basmati rice for a fast vegetarian meal.
