While I was taking nutrition class for a certification, I learned how to put fruits and vegetable together. The lime in this dip reminds me of my culture in Puerto Rico, and the bright colors are inviting. I enjoy this while watching my son’s baseball games, and I serve it at parties. This is a guilt-free treat, because of the nutritional value of the dip. – Taynisha, Jr Secretary/Scheduler, Mount Sinai Queens

Growing up I always loved mango which is a tropical fruit from my native Dominican Republic. It is a simple recipe that can be prepared in minutes. This tropical and colorful mango salsa is simple to make. Serve it as a healthy appetizer or side, with tortilla chips, tacos, meal bowls, seafood, and more! -Ana, Director Community Affairs, Mount Sinai Queens

Guacamole Dip

Ingredients:

4 large ripe avocados
1 clove garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoon of lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 slices whole-wheat pita bread

Preparation:

Add lime juice, garlic, and salt to a medium-sized bowl and combine. Cut avocados in half, removing the pits, and scoop the flesh into the bowl with the lime juice mixture. Mash the avocado with a fork until a creamy dip is formed, leaving some large chunks for texture.

Toast pita bread for one to two minutes until slightly crispy. Once toasted, use a sharp knife to cut into six equal triangles for dipping.

Serve the guacamole dip immediately with the toasted pita slices and cut-up vegetables, like carrots, celery sticks, or zucchini spears.

Recipe Tip: This classic guacamole is mild and creamy, making it a hit with kids. If making ahead of time, squeeze extra lime juice over the top and cover very tightly with plastic wrap to keep from browning.
