Ingredients:
3 ripe, fresh avocados, halved, pitted and peeled
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
1/2 - 1 Jalapeno pepper, minced (1-2 Tbsp., adjust amount based on desired spiciness)
1/4 tsp salt
Juice of 2 limes (approximately 2 Tbsp.)
1 ripe Roma tomato, seeded and diced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Additional cilantro for ganish, optional

Instructions:
Place the finely diced onion and minced jalapeno in the bottom of a medium-sized mixing bowl and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt.
Using the back of a fork, gently mash the onion and jalapeño together with the salt to release the juices.
Scoop out the avocados into the bowl, add the lime juice, and mash the avocados with the fork to a creamy consistency, combining the avocado with the onions & jalapeño.
Fold in the diced tomato and chopped cilantro leaves, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves if desired.

Here’s an interesting finding for aguacates and heart health.

In a study of 67,383 Mexican women, eating 2.5 or more avocados per week was associated with lower rates of self-reported hypertension compared with eating one avocado or less per month. Women who ate more avocados also had higher intakes of dietary fiber and monounsaturated fat.

The study doesn’t show that avocados caused the difference, and the findings can’t be generalized to everyone—but they add to the research exploring how avocados can fit into a heart-healthy eating pattern.

These are almost too cute to eat. Almost.

These spooky mummy jalapeño poppers are fun, festive and even better with a little aguacate goodness added to the mix.

Beyond its creamy texture, avocado brings naturally good fats to the party. Most of the fat in avocados is unsaturated, and replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats as part of a healthy eating pattern can help support heart health.
