Light Guacamole Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the avocados in 1/2, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh out of their shells into a large bowl. (I use my hands.) Immediately add the lemon juice, hot pepper sauce, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper and toss well. Using a sharp knife, slice through the avocados in the bowl until they are finely diced. Add the tomatoes. Mix well and taste for salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Peel and mash avocados in a medium serving bowl. Stir in onion, garlic, tomato, lime juice, salt and pepper. Season with remaining lime juice and salt and pepper to taste. Chill for half an hour to blend flavors.

Steps:

• Scoop out the flesh from one avocado and add it to a food processor along with the tofu and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Process until completely smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Scoop out the flesh from the remaining avocado and place it in a medium bowl. Roughly mash with a fork. Add the avocado and tofu mixture, the onion, jalapeno, tomato, lime juice, chopped cilantro and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Stir gently to combine.
• Transfer the dip to a small serving bowl and garnish with whole cilantro leaves. Serve with tortilla chips and bell peppers.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mash together the avocados, lime juice, and salt. Mix in onion, cilantro, tomatoes, and garlic. Stir in cayenne pepper. Refrigerate 1 hour for best flavor, or serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine one avocado with everything but the tomato. Process until smooth.
• In a bowl, mash remaining avocado with a fork. Stir in with pureed avocado and tomato.
• *When my mom makes this, she uses about a full cup of tomato, but I really dont care for it myself.
• *Add an extra jalapeno and some hot sauce if you'd like a kick.

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse the onion, tomato, chilli and most of the coriander until finely chopped (or you can do this by hand), then transfer to a bowl.
• Roll the lime over the work surface with some pressure to help juicing, then cut in half, juice it and add to the mix.
• Now cut your avocados in half, remove the stone and scoop out the creamy flesh with a spoon, making sure you get all the lovely bright green bit close to the skin.
• With clean hands squash the avocado to a pulp to make it super creamy. Leave a few of the chunks for a bit of texture. Mix through the blitzed veg and some seasoning. Serve immediately with a drizzle of good olive oil over the top and some more coriander.

Steps:

• Use a large knife to pulverise 1 large ripe tomato to a pulp on a board, then tip into a bowl.
• Halve and stone the 3 avocados (saving a stone) and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh into the bowl with the tomato.
• Tip the juice of 1 large lime, a handful of roughly chopped coriander, 1 finely chopped small red onion and 1 deseeded and finely chopped red or green chilli into the bowl, then season with salt and pepper.
• Use a whisk to roughly mash everything together. If not serving straight away, sit a stone in the guacamole (this helps to stop it going brown), cover with cling film and chill until needed.

Steps:

• Line strainer with double later of cheesecloth. Set strainer over bowl. Add yogurt to strainer. Let drain in refrigerator until yogurt is very thick, at least 2 hours or overnight. Discard liquid.
• Place yogurt in processor. Add avocado and next 4 ingredients to processor. Puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl.(Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Place guacamole in center of platter. Surround with carrots, jicama and radishes. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.

Steps:

• Mash avocados with garlic and salt. Stir in remaining ingredients, adding tomatoes and mayonnaise if desired.
