Many ingredients go into making a good mole. In Mexico, chocolate or cacao is traditionally used in its preparation. This mole features a range

of vegetables and incorporates many layers of flavor.

1 large tomato, diced

½ red bell pepper, seeded and diced

½ purple or yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced

1 medium avocado, peeled, pitted, and cubed

¼ cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves

½ cup dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes, soaked in water until soft and drained

2 tablespoons Bragg Liquid Aminos
