Introduction

Whether you're having several small meals a day or just have room in your diet for a hearty snack, this quick and easy treat is sure to satisfy. The bite of horseradish and sharp cheddar is a nice counterpoint to the fresh, creamy goodness of homemade guacamole.

While it may be high in fat, less than half of it is saturated, and the wallop it packs in potassium balances the high sodium. With more than half your daily Vitamin C, 10% to nearly a quarter of nine other vitamins and minerals, and less than 400 calories, it hits all the right buttons for a happy mouth, a satisfied tummy, and a healthy lifestyle.

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.
