Middle Eastern Guacamole – Makes 4-6 servings
Considered an aphrodisiac in Latin America, the Avocado is deemed an amorous fruit in Yemenite tradition. To us it just sounds like a match made in heaven.

- Juice from one lemon
- 2-3 minced cloves of garlic
- 1 small finely chopped red onion

- Ground black pepper
- 1-2 tablespoons Light Mayonnaise OR alternatively Sour cream / plain Yogurt
- Chopped Cilantro
Directions
- Spoon the Avocado flesh along with the Mayonnaise (or your prefered alternative) into a bowl and mash it into a chunky paste using a fork. Add the Lemon and garlic and mix into the mash.
- Mix the tomato, onion and Zahavi Zhug in with the avocado mash, but gently. While you are at it toss season with salt and pepper.
- Garnish your dish with chopped cilantro
