What to dip in guacamole?

[RangerWickett]

Baked pita chips always satisfy my snacking desires, but I'm not sure how they'd do with guac. In your situation, I'd get a small bag of tortilla chips, and just make sure I didn't go overboard.

*sigh* Guacamole. How you vex me, with your delicious, identity-crisis-provoking wiles.

Goes well with grilled chicken or steak. Also with sautéd potatoes - but you said you wanted something healthy, so they're out.

Does anyone have any suggestions on some more "unusual" things that one could dip into guacamole...?

Your enemies.

Baked Tortilla Chips aren't all that bad for you and they're tasty too.

Still all carbs.

Ooh, I like that. ...doh, except that goes against my "small portions" requirement. Thanks, though.

Dude, one medium avocado is about a third of your RDA of fats. Unless you're playing the metabolic-hack game that is the Adkins diet, there isn't much call to think of guacamole as particularly healthy in the first place.

The fat in avocado is mostly monounsaturated fat, which is much better than the fat you'll find in other foods. (Some people even say that monounsaturated fat is good for you.) It also has a lot of potasium, fiber, and vitamins B, E, and K. While you probably won't lose weight eating it, it's likely better for you than the chips you dip in it, which are pretty much all carbs, fat, salt and nothing else. (Which is why I'm trying to eliminate the chips from the equation.)

I'm not on any diets, but I do see some truth to Adkins and South Beach. For example, I find that when I eat a very carb-heavy breakfast (like a couple of muffins) I get hungry around 11, but if I add more protein (cereal with soy milk instead of muffins) I'm fine until my normal lunchtime of 1. So I try to avoid carbs when possible just because I find they make me get hungrier faster.

Nowadays, I'd ditch the bacon and make sure the cheese was Swiss (extremely low salt, dontcha know?), and still have a fantastic burger.

That's my thought, or sandwiches in general. I love me some guac.

And, making your own guac is even better.

Also, a second to what Huw said--grilled chicken or steak. That's how a lot of latin people eat their green sauce.

When we have tacos, I like to save the spiced ground beef and take it for lunch to serve on top of a baked potato with lettuce, tomatoes, and a big 'ole scoop of guac. Mmmm.
