Rancho La Puerta's Famous Guacamole Recipe (Made With Peas!)

Last week I wrote about my stay at Rancho La Puerta spa in Baja, Mexico, where I exercised all week, got massages and facials and fell in love with a healthy guacamole recipe made with avocados and peas.

People wrote to me asking for more information, so I called up the Ranch's corporate offices in San Diego and they happily sent it to me their Aztec Guacamole recipe.

Turns out you use a cup of frozen peas for each avocado to make this delicious guac. Don't like peas? Don't worry, you don't taste them at all. I was blown away when I found out the guacamole had peas in it. You can also use cooked asparagus tips, edamame or broccoli. Other ingredients are expected: lime juice, onion, cilantro, garlic, jalapeno, tomato, sea salt and pepper. Get the recipe.
