homemade is so much better than the shop bought stuff! |
Guacamole is also actually a power house of vitamins and nutrients and has a heap of health benefits...
- avocados - eat this green gem for great skin and also for protecting your heart
- tomatoes - a great antioxidant, and choc full of vitamin A, C and E
- red onion - quercetin in red onions helps scavenge those free radicals messing in your body
- lemon - the citric acid can help reduce acne
Ingredients...
2 ripe avocados
2 ripe tomatoes
1/2 small red onion (chopped finely)
1 small handful of parsley or coriander
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1 glove of garlic (crushed)
olive oil
pepper
love the creaminess of avocado |
This recipe is so easy to make...
in a mixing bowl, scoop out the flesh of the avocado and mash with a fork - I like quite a chunky guacamole but this is your preference
this recipe is so simple to male |
To the avocado, add the chopped tomatoes. Before placing them in the bowl, I gave them bit of a squeeze to rid the excess juice, as no one likes a watery guacamole
Add the chopped onion, garlic, lemon juice and herbs - I prefer to use parsley but a recipes online suggest coriander
loving the rainbow of vegetables! |
Mix well and season with pepper
and a healthy drizzle of olive oil
goes well with salads, grilled chicken and as a side |

A top tip for you...
once made, keep a stone in the guacamole as this stops it going brown and discolouring (I don't know how, but it works!)
