Monday It’s Vegan Night: This recipe is in our book The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Vegan Eating for Kids and we can’t think of a better way to kick off warmer weather than eating a good bowl full of guacamole and some tortilla chips.

Easy Vegan Guacamole

(yields 1.5 cups)

4 ripe avocados (but not overly ripe)

1/2 tsp. cumin

juice of 1/2 a lime

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 cup frozen yellow corn or petite lima beans, still frozen (optional)

1 mango (peeled and diced)

1. Peel and pit avocados. Slice flesh into 1 in. slices and place in a bowl. Add cumin and lime juice, and mash together with a fork.

2. Add salt, corn (if using) and mango (if using) and mix well. Allow corn to thaw naturally in guacamole before serving (about 15 minutes room temperature) Do not heat corn before adding to mixture.

3. Serve with tortilla chips, in wrap sandwiches, or as a dip for raw veggies.
