Final Comments


-if you want even less fat reduce or omit oil
-low fat yoghurt or sour cream can be used instead of dressing (ie oil, lemon and sugar)
-fresh garlic or herbs are nice in the avocado mix if you feel like it
-for a salsa to serve over grilled meat just use the avocado mix as is, or add mango or green apple to it.
