Green Apple Guacamole

A problem I have with a lot of prepared raw food is that it's often heavy on the nuts. I love nuts, very much, but my stomach reacts negatively when I eat large quantities of them. So, I've been looking for more vegetable based meal ideas.

How convenient that guacamole is already raw. The green apple is my absolute favourite part of this recipe. I find that avocado can get overwhelming, but the texture of the apple and tomato help break up whatever it is about avocado that I find to be too much. Eating it with Raw Corn Chips also helps.
