Q. My family loves Mexican food, and we end up going through a 16-ounce container of sour cream every time we have it (there are four in my family). We've tried the lighter sour creams, and that doesn't work for us. We've tried guacamole, but I figure that's just as bad as the sour cream. Do you have any high-flavor dip/dressing alternative?

A. I think I've got one your family will love. This is an avocado mango salsa, so it has a wonderful fusion of flavors and incorporates the avocado that this family seems to enjoy. Even if you have a half-cup serving of it, it adds up to only 114 calories. And here's the best part, this salsa is loaded with fiber and key vitamins and features one of the smarter fats — monounsaturated fat.

This salsa works really well with quesadillas, fish tacos, tortilla chips or nachos, broiled or grilled fish, and more.

A 1/2-cup serving of sour cream dip contains around 245 calories, 24 grams fat, 15 grams saturated fat, 51 mg cholesterol and 0 grams fiber and a 1/2-cup serving of guacamole dip contains around 230 calories, and 18 grams fat.
