EASY GUACAMOLE
This recipe for homemade guacamole is so good it is easy to overeat. If you are reducing fat in your diet you may want to try "NOT-SO-FAT GUACAMOLE.” There are also recipes online for Green Pea Guacamole which I have not tried. To make the chips I cut Trader Jose corn tortillas then bake 350 degrees for 18 minutes (adjust depending on how you cut yours and how hot your oven runs).
This recipe is by Alison Andrews at “Loving It Vegan”: SIMPLE VEGAN GUACAMOLE. I adjusted the recipe to suit my family’s tastes and made a double batch which was gone in a flash.
Industry funded studies want you to believe that avocados are not fattening. Watch Dr. Greger expose the truth about avocados: Are Avocados Fattening?
EASY GUACAMOLE
Ingredients (for single batch)
3 medium to large ripe avocados
2 Tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 small red onion, around 1/4 cup finely chopped
10 cherry tomatoes, sliced into quarters (I didn’t have so used 1/2 medium tomato, chopped)
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
Sea salt, to taste (I used 1/4 tsp)
Black pepper, to taste (Did not add)
I also added:
1/2 fresh jalapeno, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
Instructions
Slice the avocados into quarters, remove the core, and pull back the peel. Place the flesh into a bowl and mash with a fork.
Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired.
Serve with tortilla chips, sliced raw vegetables or flat breads for dipping.
