It’s up there with chocolate on my list….seriously. I love guacamole! In fact, my entire family loves guacamole! ha! I’m very proud of that fact, being that my little ones are tight lipped when it comes to eating their veggies {I know, I know- it’s a “fruit”}. Nevertheless….this recipe is for 1. Why? Because 1 avocado is the perfect size for a portion of this deliciousness- you can multiply the recipe as you wish. I make this often for myself for lunch …I eat it in a salad or with corn tortilla chips for a gluten-free meal!
Listen Ladies, if you don’t have all of the ingredients on hand- NO worries, be “comfy” about it- as long as you have a ripe avocado, salt, pepper, and garlic powder you are good to go. I’ve “made do” many of times!
Start with a ripe avocado- you’ll want to look for dark skin and when pressed it will feel tender on the inside. If your avocado isn’t ripe-its going to be tough-figuratively and literally. Add diced onion, diced tomato, garlic powder, sea salt, cracked black pepper, lime juice and some cilantro. I don’t typically measure, but for story telling purposes I will 🙂
Mash with a fork- nothing fancy about it.
Here you have it! Wasn’t that easy?! There are SO many health benefits to eating avocado and to top it off..it’s delicious! Serve with corn tortilla chips or serve with lettuce and some homemade salsa for a tasty lunch!
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/2 tsp of lime juice
- 1 Tbsp diced onion
- 1 Tbsp diced ripened tomato {I like Romas}
- 1 Tbsp fresh cilantro
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder {you may use 1 garlic clove if desired!}
- salt/pepper as desired {you can add more if needed}
- Mash all ingredients together with a fork!
Stop with all this goodness!!! I even have all the ingredients in my house and I love the taste of fresh guacamole.
LOL!!!! Made me laugh 😉 I do too- wish we could have some together!
I love avocados too! In a pinch, I’ve mashed the avocados with a few tablespoons of salsa and season with salt and pepper – it works!
I LOVE avocados! Guac is one of my favorite snacks 🙂
Guacamole is one of my favorites. I don’t know why I never thought to just eat it at lunch with some tortillas or by its self. I usually only make it when we are having Mexican night. Thanks for the recipe and the idea!!
Yum!!
