To make this low-calorie guacamole, replace some of the avocado with mashed canned peas. It's lower in fat, but looks and feels almost identical to avocado. Low-fat yogurt makes the consistency even smoother. Mash the vegetables with spices and lime juice, then stir in finely chopped grape tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño. The spicy jalapeño creates a beautiful contrast with the sweet tomatoes, infusing your guacamole with maximum flavor. Serve the guacamole as an appetizer with fresh vegetables or tortilla chips for dipping.
