NOTES : As an appetizer dip or side dish with Mexican-style dishes, guacamole

packs a punch with vitamins A and C. The avocado should " give " slightly, to be

most flavorful. Although avocados are high in fat (about 75 percent of their

calories), they are very nutritious and can be included in a sensible diet

occasionally. To put it in perspective, a little over half of an avocado has

less fat than an equal weight in lean ground beef, less than 1 cup of potato

salad with mayonnaise or a green salad with 2 tablespoons of regular Italian

dressing.
