Easy and Healthy Guacamole Dip Recipes
If I could choose only one fruit to eat for the rest of my life, avocados would receive serious consideration. Not only are avocados creamy and delicious, they are abundant in healthy raw fat, fiber, vitamin K, folate, vitamin B6, and vitamin C.
If eating avocados straight up isn't your thing, give one of the following easy guacamole dip recipes a try. It's near impossible to mess up a guacamole recipe, and freshly made guacamole is far healthier than commercially prepared varieties, which sometimes don't even contain real avocados.
Chunky Guacamole Recipe
Serves 4-6
Ingredients:
3 large ripe avocados
1 small red onion, finely chopped
2 small tomatoes, finely diced
Juice of 1 lemon or lime
Handful of chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Sea salt, to taste
Directions:
Scoop flesh of ripe avocados into a large bowl. Add all other ingredients and mash lightly with a fork. Mash just enough to evenly distribute ingredients and break down avocado into chunky portions. If you want good texture, don't mash too much; mash just enough to evenly distribute the ingredients and break down the avocados into chunky portions.
Smooth Guacamole Recipe
Serves 4-6
Ingredients:
3 large ripe avocados
1 jalapeno chili, minced
Handful of chopped fresh cilantro
Juice of 1 lemon or lime
Sea salt, to taste
Directions:
Scoop flesh of ripe avocados into a food processor. Add jalapeno chili, cilantro, lemon or lime juice, and sea salt. Blend until smooth.
Enjoy these simple and delicious guacamole dips with baked corn chips, baked crackers, or a whole grain pita. The lemon or lime juice will prevent the guacamole from browning for a few hours. To prolong freshness, arrange the avocado seeds in the serving bowl with the guacamole.
