She has provided this sweet guacamole recipe that’s been a hit even with guests who swore they hated avocado.

Ingredients

• 4 medium sized, ripe avocados, pitted and mashed
• 1 garlic clove, very finely chopped (about the size of your thumbnail)
• 1/8 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1/8 cup unsweetened, dried cherries, roughly chopped
• ½ packet of NuNaturals Nustevia™ White Stevia Powder
• 1 squirt Agave syrup (approx. 2 tsp.)

Directions

SIMPLE !!

Mash all your ingredients together in a bowl & ENJOY !!

Tip: Avocado browns quickly in the fridge. This recipe is best made just before guests arrive so that it will not have time to brown before enjoyment. (The brown does not mean that it has gone “bad”, but is less attractive.)

This dip makes an excellent raw veggie dip or dressing for a baby mixed greens salad.
