Easy Creamy Guacamole

March 19, 2017 by admin 15 Comments

guacamole

I’m a big fan of avocado and I really love the buttery texture of guacamole but when you buy it in the shop it always seems to contain wheat, sugar, vegetable oil or if you’re really lucky.. all 3!

Guacamole takes me 5 minutes to make it and then I adore it as a side serving on salad, on scrambled eggs, topped on fish or just dipping crudites into it.

Avocado is full of healthy monounsaturated fat which has been demonised by the low-fat industry for far too long, read here.  It has been a key part of the heart healthy Mediterranean diet for decades and it is one of the most nutritionally dense fruit you can eat.  It is full of B Vitamins – great for sustaining energy levels, high in Vitamin C – boosting your immune system, keeps your skin looking glowing with Vitamin E and it is packed with minerals such as magnesium and potassium to name a few.  Avocados have even been shown to induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) of cancer cells.

How do you like to eat guacamole?

    I love using essential oils in my cooking – makes the flavor so great. Especially during the winter when herbs aren’t nearly as flavorful!

    I LOVE all of that cilantro in there!!! That’s my favorite way to eat guacamole, heavy on the cilantro. This looks so good, wish I had some to snack on right now.

    Do you not add lime? I love a little pop of tartness to bolster the acidity of the tomato.
