Guacamole dip is one of the most sought out and a must have for parties(Super Bowl) or taco nights. It is very easy to prepare and it takes only a few minutes to make guacamole dip. It is healthy and delicious. You can use it as a dip for corn chips. It can also be used on tacos and burritos.
Guacamole dip is made up of Avocados. They are considered as nature's one of the super fruits. It has all the nutrients that are necessary for a healthy and nutritious diet. Even it has high cholesterol in it but its good cholesterol not the one that's harmful.
If you're worried about the fat content of avocados, please know that all of the fatty acids in avocados are good for your health, and most importantly, are easily digested by and assimilated into your body.
Avocados are rich in vitamin E, vitamin C, and magnesium. They're also an excellent source of lutein and carotenoids, nutrients that are essential to maintaining healthy vision.
One final note for now: because avocados are low in sugar, they're an excellent food choice for type 1 or type 2 diabetics.
As with most dishes, you can add any number of ingredients to guacamole to make it a new experience each time. Chives or green onions combine nicely with creamy avocado, as do cilantro and parsley.
Sometimes, we don't mash with a fork at all, leave everything in chunks, for a mix and a more filling salsa-like guacamole.
Here is a delicious recipe for you that is made up from 3 ripe avocados. This recipe has been tested and even picky eaters like the guacamole dip
3 Avocados
2 cloves garlic pressed/powder or garlic salt
1/2 to 1 whole onion finely minced
1/2-1 whole bunch cilantro
1/2-1 whole jalapeno finely minced
1 whole roma tomato diced and drained
1 whole lime( squeeze all the juice in)
salt and a dash of pepper
for EXTRA GOOD Guac add some low fat sour cream
2 cloves garlic pressed/powder or garlic salt
1/2 to 1 whole onion finely minced
1/2-1 whole bunch cilantro
1/2-1 whole jalapeno finely minced
1 whole roma tomato diced and drained
1 whole lime( squeeze all the juice in)
salt and a dash of pepper
for EXTRA GOOD Guac add some low fat sour cream
Following are the steps that describes how to make guacamole dip:
- Take 3 ripe avocados. Cut them and mash them until they form a smooth but chunky mixture. DO NOT Use a blender if you want more smooth cream. Add some sour cream. You can even use fork or wooden spoon to mash avocados
- Add limeJuice, salt and pepper and mix it thoroughly. (garlic optional)
- Dice the onion into small squared pieces and grate the garlic. Add them into the mixture. Stir it and taste. If you do not like the chunky guacamole dip, just use blender and put the mixture inside to blend into a creamy paste. Its up to your choice and taste.
- If you like chunky guacamole dip more, dice two to three roma tomatoes and add them to lime juice. Dice fresh cilontro and Jalapeno or Serrano if you desire a more spicy dip. Chop garlic and add all these to the mixture.
- Serve it immediately after it is ready along with tortilla chips.
- You can keep your guacamole from turning black and save it for days if you simply sit one of the pits from your avacado in the center of your Guacamole before you store it in the fridge. I have had it last, green and fresh for up to a week.
If you want to store guacamole dip, you should keep the air out. Because, air will turn your dish brown. Put a layer of plastic and wrap it on the surface of guacamole dip. Wrap another layer of plastic on the face of bowl. You can serve it when you want. Keep it refrigerated. You can store it in refrigerator but fresh guacamole is always a best choice for any party.
