Tomato-Avocado Salsamole

Vegetarian Times Issue: January 1, 2005 p.92 — Member Rating: -

This recipe is a cross between guacamole and salsa—but lower-cal than the former and more healthful than the latter, thanks to avocado’s anticancer/anticholesterol compounds. Like regular salsa, it’s great as a dip or a topping for burritos and tacos.
