Taste and texture:
This guacamole has such a nice texture - it is smooth and creamy yet also a little chunky from the chopped tomatoes. It has such a delicious flavour that is a little bold, a little citrusy and so tasty! It is not spicy.
Key ingredients and substitutions:
- Ripe avocados - avocados are full of healthy fats and are used to make this creamy guacamole. Be sure to use ripe, soft avocados. Hard, unripe avocados won't work.
- White onion - to add flavour and a little crunch and texture to this guacamole recipe.
- Fresh cilantro - cilantro adds a delicious Mexican inspired flavour to this recipe. If you don't like cilantro you can simply omit it from the recipe.
- Fresh lemon and lime juice - to give it flavour and creaminess. The citrus juices also help the guacamole stay fresher for longer.
How to make this recipe:
Step one:
First, cut the avocados in half and save the pits for later. Scoop the flesh into a large bowl and add the lemon zest, lime zest, lemon juice, lime juice, sea salt and pepper and mash the ingredients together until the avocado is smooth (or the consistency you desire - I prefer to leave a few chunks).
Step two:
Add the remaining ingredients and stir everything together
Chef's tips:
- Save the pits from the avocados! Adding these to the guacamole will help it from turning as brown in the fridge.
- If you are serving a large group feel free to double or triple the recipe.
- This recipe is best if served right away as the avocados will oxidize in the fridge if left for more than a couple hours.
Variations and add ins:
- Feel free to add other spices such as ground cumin or chili pepper.
- If you don't have white onion you could use green onion, red onion, or yellow onion instead.
- Feel free to add more or less onion, tomatoes and cilantro depending on your taste preferences (just be sure to adjust your carb counts appropriately).
- Add sour cream to make it even creamier and give it a different taste.
- Add cooked bacon for some extra crunch and flavour.
How to serve:
- Use it as a dip for raw veggies such as broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, bell peppers or celery.
- Pork rinds are a great option to dip into this guacamole.
- Bacon is great dipped in this guacamole (just trust me on this one).
- Make your own keto cheese chips or keto tortilla chips.
- Use it as a topping for meat or fish dishes to give them some extra flavour.
- Add it to your salads for some extra flavour and healthy fats.
How to store:
Store any leftover guacamole in the fridge in an airtight container, with at least one of the pits from the avocados to help prevent it from going brown. Guacamole is best eaten within three days.
Frequently asked questions:
Unfortunately guacamole turns brown really quickly in the fridge as the avocados oxidize soon after it is exposed to the air. However, as long as you don't mind the brown color it will still taste good for 2-3 days. A couple tricks to help it stay fresh are to keep the pits from the avocados and add them to the dip when storing it. The lemon juice and lime juice also help keep it fresh. And always store it in an air-tight container.
I realize that some people don't like cilantro. If that's you, feel free to omit it from the recipe. You could substitute for other herbs such as parsley if you wish.
Yes! If you don't like tomatoes in your guacamole simply omit them from the recipe. This will also decease the carb count of this guacamole.
