Add a bit more zip to your guacamole with a version featuring hearty, iron-rich kale. Kale leaves don't just add deep green color to this popular Mexican dip; they also add an earthiness that's quite welcome. The recipe below will show you all the tricks you need.

To keep this guacamole low-carb when serving, choose low-carb vegetables like cucumber slices as dippers. Low-carb crackers can also be a great pair. The guacamole is also lovely dolloped alongside chicken or steak fajitas.
