Guacamole, indulgent & healthy
I love guacamole. It has such an indulgent creaminess to it but it a very heart-healthy dip. And the lime gives it that yummy tanginess. I love it.
Avocados are really good for you. If you want to add more unsaturated fat into your diet but think of avocados as been a bit bland, try this guacamole. Honestly, it’s good.
When I first posted this recipe I didn’t take a shot of the ingredients. I decided to try making that image with AI. It took some editing. But if you’d like to hear more about experiences of and thought on AI, I wrote a post about it.
Guacamole
Yield: ~2 cups guacamole
Suitable for: Gluten-free diet
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1 lime, juice
- 1 tbsp diced onion
- 1 large tomato
- ¼ tsp Cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions:
Peel & stone the avocados
To peel an avocado, stick a sharp knife through the side of the avocado until the blade meets its stone, pull the knife around the avocado lengthwise, keeping the tip of knife in contact with the stone. When you have pulled the knife all around the avocado pull it apart. Take out the stone and discard it. Peel and stone the three avocados. Place the avocado flesh in a bowl with the ⅘ of the lime juice. Sprinkle over the salt and diced onion. Mash it all to a pulp.Peel & deseed the tomatoes
Score the skin of the tomato and place it in a bowl of boiling water for one minute. This is to loosen the skin and is not always necessary. Carefully peel the skin from the flesh. Cut the peeled tomato into quarter and remove the seeds with your fingers. Dice the peeled & deseeded flesh and gently mix it into the mashed avocado.Sprinkle lime juice on top to stop it turning brown
Sprinkle over a little Cayenne pepper and mix in. Taste and see if it needs more salt. When the seasoning is right sprinkle all the top of the avocado with the remaining lime juice - this is to stop it browning. Add a final sprinkle of Cayenne pepper on top. Cover with cling film and place in the fridge until ready to serve. Ideally make it at most an hour or two before serving. But it will stay good for about 12 hours or so without browning, provided you have sprinkled enough lime juice on top.
Enjoy!
