Ingredients
-
1/2 of a Haas avocado
1 tomato, (2"-2.5" diameter), cut to 1/4" dice
1 tbsp. minced fresh onion (red is prettier)
juice of 1/2 lime
dash salt
*1 oz Boar's Head Horseradish cheddar cheese
12 reduced fat Nabisco Wheat Thins
Directions
Serves one as a meal or hearty snack or makes four 3-piece servings at 94.9 calories each.
1. Mash pulp of 1/2 avocado in a small bowl.
2. Add tomato, onion, lime juice, and salt.
3. Mix thoroughly.
4. Portion guacamole out on to 12 Reduced Fat Wheat Thins crackers. You will have extra. To reduce your calories, save it for later, tightly covered with plastic wrap in contact with surface. To indulge your tastebuds, eat it plain.
*5. Cut 1 oz horseradish cheddar into 12 small cubes or thin slices and place one on each cracker.
6. Enjoy.
Tip: To preserve freshness of the remaining half of the avocado, remove pit, cover with plastic wrap, replace pit to hold wrap in place, and smooth wrap tight against cut surface of avocado.
*Substituting one tablespoon of horseradish for the horseradish cheddar cheese saves 102.8 calories, 8.8 g of fat, and 222.9 mg sodium, but you also lose 15.8% of your daily calcium and 5.8 grams of protein. I guess it just depends on what you need and what you have room for in your diet plan.
