Quick guacamole
A homemade guacamole is a quick and cheap way to elevate dish and add much needed nutrients and healthy fats.
Ingredients
- 1 avocado
- 1/4 lime
- salt and pepper
- Tabasco sauce
Optional add-ins
- fresh chilli
- fresh herbs such as coriander
- 1 small tomato
- 1/2 small red onion
Instructions
- Scale this recipe as you need, half an avocado per person is a good measure.
- Remove the avocado flesh from the skin and place it in a bowl. Mash the avocado. Feel free to leave a few lumps if you like the texture.
- Slice the lime and squeeze in the juice directly on the avocado.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- If you like a bit of a kick, give a few shakes of Tabasco sauce. This will add some spice without adding colour.
- Transfer the finished guacamole to your favourite serving dish.
Option extras
- Garnish the completed guacamole with fresh coriander and finely sliced chilli.
- If you like more texture in your guacamole, consider adding in tomato! Cut the tomato in half, remove the watery seeds. Dice the remaining tomato and stir in to enjoy!
Notes
Why no onion? I am the owner of a FODMAP belly and one of the things my body definitely does not like is onions. Cooked or raw I get an upset stomach. You'll see throughout my recipes that I omit onions.
I will however use garlic and garlic powder. While many FODMAP folk strongly react to these I seem to tolerate them. I think this is because the volume is lower and in most cases garlic is cooked.
