Avocado-Pea Guacamole
This recipe keeps calories down by substituting puréed frozen peas for some of the avocado—which, while incredibly good for you, is also high in calories for a fruit (110 to 180 per half, depending on variety). To assess an avocado’s ripeness, lightly press it with your thumb. If it feels soft, it’s ready to eat; if there is a slight give, it will be ready in a day or so; if it’s firm, it will need three or more days to ripen. To speed ripening, try storing your avocado in a paper bag along with an apple or banana, which give off compounds that accelerate ripening.
