Guacamole with vegie sticks



Avocados are a nutrient powerhouse and rich in beneficial fats. But the best news is that they taste fantastic, especially in this easy, kid-friendly recipe!

Cooking Time- 30 minutes

• 2 small avocados, peeled
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 small tomato, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh coriander leaves
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons plain Greek-style yoghurt
• 100g plain corn chips
• 2 celery stalks, trimmed, cut into sticks
• 1 medium carrot, peeled, cut into sticks
• 1 medium red capsicum, cut into sticks

Method
1.Place avocado in a bowl. Roughly mash with a fork. Add onion, tomato, coriander, lime juice and yoghurt. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
2.Serve with corn chips and vegetable sticks.


Notes
•Cover surface of dip with plastic wrap and refrigerate if not serving immediately.
Tip: Adding lemon or lime juice to avocado not only adds flavour, but helps prevent it browning.
