Gina, I add tomatoes to my recipe which is very similar to this one. I ve always used the regular sized avocados and I add one tomatoe per avocado. Cut tomatoe in small chunks and drain the natural juices before adding to guacamole, might have to increase the salt just a little to compensate for the tomatoe added. Reduces amount eaten,therefore less calories per serving. First, I love your site and I recommend it to anyone who will listen to me! Thanks for your wonderful blog! I make my guac just like this only I add fresh pomegranate arils on top! The pop of color is beautiful and festive and it helps keep the top from browning. The pomegranate also adds a lovely little crunch and delicate sweetness. Definitely worth a try! ??
