Notes
Avocados are an excellent source of nutrition, particularly potassium, which can be difficult to meet the recommended intake for. Although avocados are high in fat, the fat is predominantly monounsaturated, which is the healthiest form. The onions add flavor while further enhancing the nutritional quality. The celery also enhances the nutritional quality and is a much healthier option for dipping than chips.
