It comes every week like clockwork: Taco Tuesday. Although the best taco filling is up for debate, nearly everyone can agree on one thing: guacamole. The avocado packs a heart-healthy punch, perfect for American Heart Month. This modified recipe from True Food Kitchen adds kale to increase its fiber.Nearly a decade ago, restauranteur Sam Fox opened the first True Food Kitchen in Phoenix. The restaurant’s menu highlights wholesome, simple ingredients with hassle-free preparations to emphasize the natural health benefits and flavors of each ingredient that goes into every dish. The food-forward menu offers an array of delicious vegan, vegetarian, and even gluten-free options. Today, the restaurant has 16 locations - the newest in Walnut Creek, California, and Chicago - with no plans to stop expanding.
