Fat-free guacamole has been around in one form or another for a while. Most recipes taste good, but you can often tell they’re not made with avocados, the traditional primary ingredient. While I can’t promise that my dip recipe tastes just like the original version, this healthy alternative uses both broccoli and edamame to fool the taste buds just a little more. Serve this low-fat version of the very popular Mexican condiment wherever you would serve traditional guacamole, such as with enchiladas, burritos, or as a snacking dip for vegetables.
