How to Make Healthy and Delicious Avocado Guacamole: Easy Recipe, Preparation, Serving Suggestions, and Tips for Salads & Snacks
Let’s make delicious guacamole at home just like at a restaurant! This recipe highlights the natural flavors of fresh ingredients.
Ingredients- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/2 small onion (or red onion)
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice or vinegar
- Pinch of black pepper (freshly ground recommended)
- 10 cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start making nutritious and delicious avocado guacamole! Create a healthy snack or salad dressing with these fresh ingredients.
Step 2
First, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and then peel it. Place the flesh in a bowl and mash it gently with a fork or potato masher, leaving some small chunks for texture. Mashing it too smoothly can make it less interesting.
Step 3
Wash the cherry tomatoes, remove their stems, and finely chop them, excluding the seeds, then add them to the mashed avocado. The tomatoes’ freshness will enhance the guacamole’s flavor.
Step 4
Finely mince the onion. If you prefer a milder onion flavor, soak the minced onion in cold water for about 5 minutes, then drain thoroughly. Add the minced onion to the bowl with the avocado and tomatoes.
Step 5
Now it’s time for seasoning. Add 1/2 tsp of salt, 1 Tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, 1 Tbsp of fresh lemon juice (vinegar can be used as a substitute if lemons are unavailable), and a pinch of black pepper to your liking. Gently stir everything together until well combined. It’s a good idea to taste and adjust the salt or lemon juice to perfectly suit your palate.
Step 6
And just like that, your delicious homemade guacamole is ready! Serve it as a dip with warm toasted bread or tortilla chips, or spoon it over your favorite salad for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy your healthy and tasty guacamole!
