  • 1/2 tsp salt
Makes 6 Servings


Cut the avocado in half and discard the pit. Scrape the avocado pulp into a small bowl; coarsely mash with a fork. Add the tomatoes, scallions, jalapeno pepper. lime juice and salt; mix until just combined. Scrape into a serving dish and serve at once.

WW POINTS VALUE: 1PT (1/4 cup)

Note: This recipe appears in the New WW Complete Cookbook. I had a craving for my Jalapeno Turkey Burger and I wanted to add a little kick to it and this recipe lookd perfect. Guacamole is not only a perfect appetizer but it's also delicious on sandwiches and burgers. A little avocado goes a long way when you add tomatoes to the guacamole. If you wanto to give the guacamole an extra kick, add some hot sauce to it.
