Keto Guacamole

Guacamole has to be one of the best dips. And this keto guacamole is my absolute favourite. Creamy and full of flavour its also easy to make and naturally low in carbs. It’s made with avocados, cilantro, onion and spices and adaptable to your preferences! It’s also paleo, vegan and Whole30 compliant. Pair this guacamole with raw veggies or add it to your meat or fish dishes for some extra flavour and healthy fats!

What you need to make this recipe:

  • Ripe avocados
  • Tomatoes – To add some extra veggies and flavour
  • White onion – To add flavour and a little crunch
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Fresh lemon and lime – to give it flavour and creaminess
  • Salt and pepper

How to make this keto guacamole:

You will love how easy this dip is to make!

  1. 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).
  2. Add the remaining ingredients and stir everything together
Directions for making guacamole

Tips for making guacamole:

  • 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 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 on this keto guacamole:

  • 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

What is the carbohydrate count and fat count of this guacamole?

Assuming a 2 tbsp sized serving, each serving has 10 grams of fat and 7 grams of carbs (with 5 grams of fibre).

How to lower the carb count on this guacamole:

If you are close to your carbohydrate allotment for the day you can decrease or eliminate the tomatoes from this recipe. You could also decrease or eliminate the lime or lemon juice.

How to use this guacamole on the keto diet:

  • 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 use this guacamole for other diets:

  • If you are following the paleo diet I love eating this guacamole with Siete Chips, Cassava chips or Simple Mills crackers
  • If you are not on a grain-free diet pair this guacamole with tortilla chips, nacho chips, crackers, or potato chips
  • If you are following the Whole30 diet use this as a dip for raw veggies (including higher carbohydrate vegetables such as carrots), as a topping for meat or fish dishes or for an addition to your salads

Frequently Asked Questions:

How long can you store guacamole in the fridge: 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 1-2 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.

Can I leave out the cilantro? 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.

Can I leave out the tomatoes? 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.

Other sauces and dips you will love:

  • Whole30 Spinach and Artichoke Dip
  • Carrot Chili Dip
  • Cilantro Lime Dressing
  • Roasted Red Pepper Dip
