Recipe: Spring Guacamole

 A ripe avocado arrived in my CSA (community supported agriculture) box and what better do with an avocado than to make guacamole! Then I happened to stop by a mexican restaurant as they were closing, and they gave me the tortilla chips gratis! I've modified a traditional guac using parsley instead of cilantro and lemon juice instead of lime to help melt away kapha and bring a bit of heat to our spring-time bodies. Enjoy!

serves 1-2

1/2 an avocado

1 t diced cucumber

1/2 t chopped flat parsley

1/4 t lemon juice

tiny pinch hing (aka asafoteida)

salt to taste

*fresh corn chips for dipping

Combine ingredients in small bowl and mash together using a fork.
Dip in corn chips & munch away!

• Vata: great for vata! Serve guacamole at room temp. 
• Pitta: lime juice instead of lemon. cilantro instead of parsley.
• Kapha: eat on occasion as avocados & fried food (chips) are heavy.
