Creamy, highly seasoned, spicy or chunky, guacamole is the go-to snack when you’re watching sports on TV. For environmental reasons – deforestation and the draining of waterways to plant avocados – we decided to replace some of the avocado here with kale. And of course we threw in some cranberries for an irresistible spicy-sweet touch. Serve with plain corn nachos for a balanced, crunchy snack!

Steps

  1. Boil water in a large pot. Plunge kale leaves into boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until leaves turn dark green. Remove from water and plunge into a bowl of ice water.

  2. Dry kale leaves thoroughly with a kitchen towel. Remove veins from kale and chop very fine.

  3. Mash avocado flesh in a bowl with a fork, adding lime zest and juice. Add remaining ingredients. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.

  4. Serve as a dip with tortilla chips.
