Tropical Guac Avocados are rich in healthy, belly-trimming
monounsaturated fats. Because this dip is bulked up with fruit, it has
fewer calories per scoop than other fruits. For a healthy dish mash
avocado and salt together with a fork. Gently stir in onion, coriander,
jalapeno and lime juice. Fold in pineapple, mango and musk melon.
