[ Avocado + Chobani = Guac Heaven. ]
Ah, Superbowl Sunday. It was a really nice day out, spent the afternoon seeing friends and wandering Chelsea Market, just being happy :) Then, it was time to head over to my friend's apartment for a food-filled Superbowl party!
Never to show up empty handed, I decided this was a great opportunity to make guacamole.
I played this one by ear, half-following a recipe discovered at Chelsea Market, and half making it up on my own. That's always the fun part.
Removed the avocado flesh from its shell, scooping it into a bowl. Added lemon juice, onion, garlic powder, salt, and red pepper flakes, for some kick.
Used a fork to mash it all together a bit, letting the avocado remain in chunks, because I love when you can really taste the avocado in the dip.
Once I had a nice, thick mash to work with, I added 4 ounces of Chobani Plain 0% Greek yogurt, to help smooth it out and lighten it up.

At last, add tomato, mixing a little bit in, and using the rest to garnish the top.

Even though it was game day and nutrition wasn't at the top of everyone's mind, it's nice to know that some sport-worthy nosh can also be body-worthy.

ReplyDeleteI am making this morning to pair with my babababay carrots!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'll take that dare. I love the avocado/yogurt combo I'm thinking that would be great in a chicken salad (already use greek yogurt in mine). Also like the veggies for guac, doesn't have to be paired with chips.
ReplyDeleteAdding Chobani to guac, what a great idea, and so creamy I bet! Mmm I totally want to try this.
