Get in some healthy nutrients from avocados, coloured peppers and a variety of fresh vegetables by playing with your food! Work with your kids to turn veggies into a crocodile, that you can then munch on. For big kids: have them measure out the ingredients. For little kids: let them mix the ingredients for the guac.
--Ingredients--
1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans or chickpeas, rinsed and drained 3 tablespoons mayonnaise 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt 2 large ripe avocados Decoration options: red and yellow pepper pieces, sliced miniature cucumbers, radishes and ripe olives Assorted fresh vegetables
--STEP 1--
For dip, place first four ingredients in a food processor; process until smooth. Cut avocados lengthwise in half around the seed; remove seeds. Reserving skins, carefully scoop out avocado and add to bean mixture; process until blended.
--STEP 2--
For crocodile heads, fill avocado skins with dip. If desired, add pepper pieces for teeth, radish and olive slices for eyes, and olives for noses. Serve with vegetables.
