Guacamole with a Kick!

Guacamole is so versatile. You can use it as a topping for salads, folded in tacos, on top of your burrito bowl, or as a dip for veggies or seed crackers! It’s a wonderful way to help your body absorb the fat-soluble vitamins naturally present in vegetables… one reason why I NEVER recommend fat-free dressing (blech!?).

Guacamole with a Kick is a basic guac recipe with the addition of…fermented vegetables! Whenever possible I try to sneak a health-boosting food or two into ordinary recipes. Why not? And because guacamole is already a nutritional powerhouse, this addition makes it extra good for you! 

Fermented vegetables are an amazing source of good bacteria known as probiotics, which is an essential “ingredient” for overall well-being. These special veggies can be found in the refrigerated section of your local grocery store, often near the deli department. Quality brands include: Wake Robin, Farmhouse Culture, and Cleveland Kraut. They include everything from raw sauerkraut, kimchi, beets, and green beans, to cucumbers, onions, cauliflower, and carrots. 

NOTE: Don’t heat your fermented vegetables above 75 degrees Fahrenheit, otherwise you’ll kill the beneficial bacteria.
