Avocado Cream

Instead of sour cream, try making this delicious substitute. I prefer Hass avocados for their richer flavor and creamy texture but you can use the lower-fat Florida avocado as well. Serve with tacos, chili or even as a substitute for mayonnaise.

1 ripe avocado
1 tsp olive oil
salt and pepper
lime or lemon juice


Lightly chop avocado and put in a small blender (magic bullet!) with olive oil, salt and pepper, and a tsp or so of lime or lemon juice. Puree until smooth
