Ingredients:
- 3 Ripe avocados
- 1 large tomato (or 2 small)
- 2 limes
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 2 -3 tbsp chopped cilantro (optional)
- Multigrain chips or endive…. (what?)
Directions:
1. Dice avocado, tomato and onion into equal sizes.
2. Add to a large bowl. In a small bowl, juice both limes and mix with sea salt to make a sort of salty lime-ade.
3. Pour lime juice mixture over chopped veggies.
4. Top with cilantro, if desired and stir to combine.
5. Serve with multigrain tortilla chips OR a crunchy veggie like Belgian endive. Pull off endive leaf and dip into guac like a chip,
6. Enjoy!
To spice this up a bit add minced garlic, ¼ - 1/2 tsp cumin, cayenne and/ or chili powder.
If this recipe is too large just reduce the ingredients, something like 1 avocado, 1 small tomato, ½ small red onion, ½ lime and pinch of salt makes a nice serving for 1 or 2. One serving for me, I love this stuff !
Other ways to enjoy guacamole:
- On top of a beef or turkey burger, makes it a lot more interesting especially if you are omitting the bun.
- On a salad with some grilled fish or shrimp.
- Add to Mexican Spinach Burritos
- Top quinoa or brown rice with black beans, salsa, shredded lettuce, guacamole and sour cream….mmmmmmmm, soooooo good! A quick, healthy lunch or dinner.
Avocados contain protein, carbohydrate and good quality fat. They are rich in potassium and are also particularly good in many other minerals, including magnesium, iron, and manganese.
