Even great things leave room for improvement. Try this guacamole version with even more vitamins from added kale. You can eat it by the spoonful, we won’t tell.
By Kelly Morrison
I adore guacamole. Give me a tub and I’ve got dinner. Sometimes I like to have a little chip with my dip, but it’s honestly just to look civilized. 
I’ve seen other recipes that use peas to lighten the caloric load of guacamole, but peas add their own distinct and frankly undesirable taste and texture. Not too mention extra carbs. Here you won’t even notice the kale, or the lowered calories and extra nutritional vitamin goodness that comes along.
You’ll be too busy swooning over your indulgent gucamole snack. Or dinner. No judgement. Set out your ingredients and bask in the fresh produce of this glorious season.

- 3 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro
- 3 tablespoons roughly chopped parsley

Instructions
- Add garlic, shallots and kale to the food processor and process until smooth. Add cilantro, parsley, and jalapeno and process until all the ingredients are combined.

Devour.
