Mint and Mango Guacamole
Serves 4.
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.

In large bowl, stir together shallot, lime juice, and salt. Set aside for 5 to 10 minutes.

Halve avocados, discard pit, scoop out flesh, and add to bowl along with marinated shallots. Mash with fork until you get a creamy dip, the consistency that you like. Fold in cilantro, mint, serrano chili, and 3/4 of the mango. Let sit for 10 minutes at room temperature before garnishing with extra torn mint leaves, remaining diced mango, and a sprinkling of green onion. Serve alongside jicama sticks or pita chips, if desired.
