Mint and Mango Guacamole

Sweet mango and zippy mint add an extra punch of flavour to this guacamole-inspired dip. Avocados, which are the backbone of guacamole, contain a good amount of healthy polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which help boost metabolism and keep you feeling fuller for longer.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium shallot, finely diced
  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) kosher salt
  • 2 ripe large avocados
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) packed fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) packed fresh mint, chopped, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 serrano chili, finely diced, seeds removed if you don’t like too much spice
  • 1 Ataulfo mango, peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced
