Avocado Salsa

Addicted...that's all I'm going to say.

Avocado Salsa
Adapted from my mother/sister-in-law
Ingredients

4 medium avocados, diced
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 small/medium can of sliced olives
2 cups frozen corn
1/2 bunch cilantro, roughly chopped

1/3 cup e.v.o.o
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
3 tbs apple cider vinegar
1 clove garlic, pressed or minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Toss everything together in a medium bowl. Serve with tortilla chips or just by itself (i prefer this way)
*tip: to keep the avocados from turning brown, save 1 or 2 of the avo pits and store it in with the salsa

Tzatziki




Ever had it before? If not, you should. It's seriously addicting. It's super easy to make and it's a great light, healthy snack. Unless you eat the whole thing in one sitting...which I could probably do. So try this recipe out. All it takes is a few minutes and just a few ingredients.

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups plain Greek Yogurt
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and finely diced
1 clove of garlic, pressed or minced
1 TBS e.v.o.o
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp dill
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, add to taste

In a medium sized bowl combine all ingredients. Hard right?
Serve with pita chips, flat bread, or veggies.

Oh and I realize this may not be "Fall" snack material, but we can always go for a healthy snack right?
