Basil Guacamole

This might be your new favourite guacamole recipe right here! I know it's mine. My friends and family are always requesting that I make it for them.

Not only are avocados delicious and easy to incorporate into many dishes (and in homemade face masks), but they are SO good for you too! They are loaded with healthy monounsaturated fats, but they also contain a ton of essential vitamins and minerals, and more potassium per gram than bananas! Cool eh? They also contain protein, fibre, and antioxidants, woo-hoo! So many great things packed into these little guys. 

You can serve guacamole with organic corn chips (I personally like blue corn), you can spread it on toast, you can use it as a layer in tacos, or you can scoop it up with fresh veggies… There are many ways to enjoy it!

Recipe

Basil Guacamole

Ingredients:

  • 2 avocados

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 2 Tbsp white onion, finely diced

  • 5-6 large basil leaves, minced

  • 1/2 lemon juiced

  • pinch of sea salt

  • pinch of black pepper

  • 1 small tomato, diced

Directions:

1. Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit. Using a knife, carefully lice lines both horizontally and vertically in the avocado (creating squares), being careful not to slice through the skin. Scoop out the squares with a spoon. This will give you nicely diced avocado to work with.

2. Add all of the ingredients to a bowl, except the tomato. Stir with a fork while trying to also mash some of the avocado and leaving some chunks.

3. Mix in the tomatoes last (as you don't want them to break down with the mixing).

4. Serve with corn chips, crackers, or spread on toast or in a wrap.

Enjoy!
