Chef’s Notes
- Serve as a dip with Homemade Corn Tortilla Chips, whole grain pita wedges, or fresh veggies. Add ¼ cup serving of carrot sticks, broccoli florets, celery sticks, jicama sticks, or turnip sticks to have a full veggie component for snack.
- The lime keeps the avocados from turning brown. Keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator to maintain look and taste for a couple of days.
- To ensure this recipe is truly gluten-free, use ingredients labeled "certified gluten-free." Some foods, like oats or soy sauce, can contain traces of gluten depending on the brand or processing methods.
