Stupid-Easy Guacamole
This authentic-inspired guacamole can be whipped up in less than 5 minutes. Pair it with sliced cucumbers, sugar-snap peas, endives, or the classic tortilla chip and you've got yourself the star of the party. Good luck stopping at just one bite...
In my book, avocado is King. There is no other food I love more (besides salsa) that has a greater flavor or packs more of a nutritional punch.
Healthy fats, specifically omega-3's, are plentiful in avocados. These can help lower cholesterol, make you feel satisfied for longer, help regulate hormones, and allow your body to absorb more nutrients. They are the bee's knees when it comes to your health and wellness.
Whenever I have a ripe avocado in my hands, you can bet that I'm making guacamole.
Now, I have had some really, really good guacamole...and I've also had some terrible guac. I've found the trick is in the lime and cilantro. Along with a few household spices, that's really all you need.
My guacamole recipe is stupid-easy. Simple as that.
I love seeing people trying my recipes and digging the shit out of them. So if you make anything from TWR, show me! Tag #thewellnessrookie on social media for a chance to be reposted.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 lime
- 1 small handful fresh cilantro
- 3/4 tsp Himalayan pink salt
- 1/2 tsp cracked pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Directions
Cut avocados in half and make slicing marks in each half length-wise (do not slice all the way through the skin as it should still be attached). Scoop out avocado slices from each skin into mixing bowl. Roll lime along counter to work out the juices. Slice lime in half and squeeze lime juice into bowl. Finely mince cilantro and add to bowl. Add in salt, pepper and garlic. Take a masher or a plain ol' fork and start to mash mixture until desired texture is reached.
Enjoy with chips, endive, cucumber slices, sugar-snap peas, tomatoes or any other dipping partner.
