Lower Calorie Avocado Dip
2 Haas Avocados, about 272 grams when removed from skin (435.2 calories)
juice of 1 lemon, about 1/4 cup (12 calories)
2 TB rough chopped parsley (1 calorie)
1 clove garlic (4 calories)
20 drops tabasco (0 calories)
Remove avocado flesh from skin, cut into chunks with fork, mashing about half of the avocado. Add the rest of the ingredients, making sure not to over-mash the avocado, unless you like your avocado smooth.
Makes 4 servings, 113 calories per serving.
I serve this with 1 serving of baked corn chips, for a total of 253 calories.
Don't get me wrong, I love my guacamole, with loads of tomatoes and onion and sour cream and cheese, but I was trying to come up with something that was full of healthy fats and not heavy enough in calories to be counted as a meal.

What's Haas avocadoes? and are they better than normal ones?
I love avocado but my boyfriend hates them so I haven't had guacamole for ages, sowhen my brithday is coming up in about 3 weeks, I'm making all the things I want and that's that hehe
Haas Avocados are the ones with bumpy skin, and I think they're from California. That's what I used, but you can use whatever you have.
Sooo, what other things are you going to make for your birthday?? I'm curious :D
Erin, I made an Avocado-Tomatillo dip a couple of weeks back that was pretty light, too, and very delicious. I love avocados so, so much.
Also, I made my version of your creamy curry tonight, it was great! I ended up using curry powder AND paste, and it was fantastic. Thanks for the recipe!
