As much as we love traditional guacamole, this is a wonderful, very fresh tasting alternative. It’s light and clean, and perfect for a summer lunch. We spread this avocado treat on toasted whole grain pita wedges or corn tortillas for lunch. Recipe courtesy Sara Baer-Sinnott from The Oldways Table.

Ingredients: 

1 ripe avocado

1 lime, quartered

Sea salt, to taste

Tortilla chips, tortillas, or pita toasts (to serve)
