     Tomato-Avocado Salsamole This recipe is a cross between guacamole and salsa but lower-cal than the former and more healthful than the latter, thanks to avocado's anticancer/anticholesterol compounds. Like regular salsa, it's great as a dip or a topping for burritos and tacos.

Try putting salsa in the pit and then dipping your tortilla chips in there to get an avocado salsa mix. Or, try this salsamole recipe for a twist on a traditional favorite. Speaking of filling in the pit, you can use avocados as a “bowl” as well. Simply scoop enough to fit a small portion of tuna or chopped egg.
