This is a wonderful recipe to add to your summer fun…adapted from Clean Food by Terry Walters.

Strawberry Guacamole

1 cup diced strawberries

1/2 cup peeled and diced jicama

1 watermelon radish, peeled and diced*

2 avocados, peeled, pitted and diced (save pits)

1 jalepeno, seeded and minced

Juice of 2 limes

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

In a large bowl, combine strawberries, jicama, watermelon radish, avocados and jalapeno. In a separate bowl combine lime juice, salt, garlic powder and olive oil. Pour over strawberry mixture and stir until combined. If not serving immediately, place avocado pits in bowl to keep dip from turning brown. Cover and refrigerate. Before serving, remove pits and stir gently. Makes 3 cups.

*If you can’t find watermelon radish (sweet and tasty!), you can substitute tomatillos, cipollini onions or peaches.
