Categories     appetizer

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ripe small Hass avocados
1 lemon, juiced
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
1 small plum tomato, seeded and finely chopped
1/2 small yellow skinned onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon coarse salt
Blue corn tortilla chips, for dipping

Steps:

  • Cut avocados in half around the pit. Separate the halves. Pop out pit with spoon, then scoop flesh of avocados into a bowl. Squeeze the juice of a lemon over the avocados. Squeeze the juice with the lemon halves facing cut-side up, allowing the juice to spill down over the sides of the lemon into the bowl. This method keeps the seeds in the lemon and out of the guacamole. Add garlic, jalapeno, tomato, onion and salt to the bowl. Mash and mix the ingredients into a chunky dip using a fork. Serve with blue corn tortilla chips.

GARLIC GUACAMOLE



Garlic Guacamole image

No tomatoes in this guac - which makes it a great one for when fresh tomatoes aren't readily available. I often make it in the summer even when tomatoes are available as this is one of my favorite guacs - fair warning though, the garlic comes through loud and clear!! Course salt (I use sea salt) is smashed with the garlic and then combined with avocado, jalapeno and onions! Adapted from Rachel Ray

Time 10m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 avocado
1 jalapeno, minced (seeds removed if you choose, I leave in cuz I like the heat!)
1/4 onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/2-1 teaspoon sea salt
1 lemon, juice of

Steps:

  • Halve avocado and scoop pulp into medium bowl. Add minced jalapeños and finely chopped onions.
  • Place chopped garlic clove on cutting surface and sprinkle with the sea salt (or other course salt). Using the side of a knife, mash the salt into the garlic until you have a paste.
  • Add garlic paste & lemon juice to avocado mixture and mash together with a fork until desired consistency is reached making sure to distribute garlic throughout.

Tips:

  • Use ripe avocados: The riper the avocados, the creamier and more flavorful your guacamole will be. Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color, and that yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your guacamole will taste. Use fresh garlic, lime juice, cilantro, and onion for the best flavor.
  • Don't over-mash the avocados: Guacamole should be chunky, not smooth. Mash the avocados just until they are combined, leaving some small pieces intact.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and cumin to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
  • Serve immediately: Guacamole is best served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours. Cover the surface of the guacamole with plastic wrap to prevent it from turning brown.

Conclusion:

Skinny garlic guacamole is a delicious and healthy snack or appetizer. It is made with fresh, simple ingredients and is packed with flavor. This guacamole is perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a casual get-together. It is also a great way to use up ripe avocados. So next time you have a craving for guacamole, try this skinny version. You won't be disappointed!
