Loaded Guacamole

9/26/2014

   I loves me some guacamole people! See that plate with veggies in the photo? I ate all of that for my lunch! I know it looks like a plate ready for a party, but the party was all me. :)  I was super full, stayed full (thanks to those healthy fat avocados), and got most of my servings of veggies in for the day! My advice for guac? Skip the chips and use veggies! It's super tasty, and (obviously) better for you too!

Loaded Guacamole

Ingredients:
 
  • 3 Ripe avocados
  • 2 Tbsp lemon or lime juice
  • 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 Onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 Tomato, diced
  • 1 Bell pepper (don't pick green, you've already got too much green!)
  • 1 Red or green chilli pepper, finely diced-and wash your hands well after! 
  • 3 Tbsp Pampered Chef guacamole seasoning, or 1 Tbsp each dried garlic, onion and paprika
  • Salt & pepper to taste


Method:

  1. Cut open your avocados and scrape the fruit into a medium sized bowl (keep 2 of the seeds). Squish with a fork until it's as creamy and non-lumpy as you like it. I personally don't like it too lumpy, so I squish it with a fork, then use my hand blender to whip it up.
  2. Add everything else, and stir it up!
  3. Scrape the guacamole into an airtight container and press the two saved seeds into it. Apparently this keeps guacamole from going brown? I dunno if it's really true, but I always do it! Also, even in its container, when this dip get exposed to air it can brown, so place a piece of plastic wrap on the top, and as you use it, continue to keep the exposed surface covered in plastic wrap before putting it back into the fridge

   So, that's my guacamole! If you don't like stuff in it, well, just omit all the stuff-well, keep the seasoning, of course!
   Tomorrow I am very excited to be a part of the Belleville Culture Days and the Art Walk! If you live around Belleville, you should come down! I will have some new paintings for sale (go check 'em out!), as well as some antique windows-turned-chalk&cork-boards, tea cup bird feeders, tea cup & saucer cookie trays, and some recipes in a jar-antique jars, of course! 
   I'm really looking forward to it, and I think you should stop by!
   Whatever you're doing, have a good weekend!
