Summer Recipes with Zesty Flavors!

Here are the ingredients:

• 6 Ripe, small tomatoes
• Lettuce leaves
• 1 Batch of Guacamole

1.  Cut the stems out of the tomatoes, leaving the skin intact at the very bottom.  Slice each tomato  into 8 wedges, taking care not to cut through the tomato skin at the very bottom of the stem.

2.  Place a lettuce leaf, or some other kind of greenery on each salad plate, and put a tomato on top, spreading the wedges out to look like a flower

3.  Spoon 2 – 3 Tablespoons (Heaping) of Guacamole into the middle of the Tomato flower, and serve (chilled if you prefer).

Yield:  6 Servings

Depending on the size of your tomatoes, each will have about 17 Grams of carbohydrates and 5 Grams of fiber

What if you don’t have a family of 6  - then halve the recipe, and plan to use the rest of the guacamole for something else – omelettes, perhaps, or Mexican appetizers.   Guacamole has over 1,000 mg. of Potassium per serving.
