Ingredients to Make Easy Keto Guacamole

• Avocados
• Garlic
• Cilantro
• Tomato
• Red Onion

How To Make Creamy Guacamole Dip

1. Start with a few good-quality avocados. See my tips below for picking great avocados. Cut them open and pop out the seed. Scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash it up with a fork.
2. Dice the tomato and red onion, chop the cilantro and mince the garlic.
3. Mix it all together and get the lime juice in there, and add the salt and pepper to taste.

How To Buy Avocados

Not only are avocados crazy high in nutrition, but they’re readily available these days. Here’s how to pick the best avocadoes:

• Avocados do not ripen on the tree, so you’ll almost always find them hard and green in the store.
• If you find black, soft avocados, don’t buy them – they’ve been sitting there for days.
• It can take 3-4 days for green avocados to ripen on your counter. To slow down the process, you can put them in the fridge.
• Use avocados when they are very dark green, almost black, and when there’s some softness when you press on the skin.
• Don’t buy the nice round fat looking avocados! Those ones are likely to have huge seeds in them. Instead, look for slightly longer and more narrow avocados. Those ones have a better chance of yielding more flesh.

Chef Jenn’s Tips for Making The BEST Guacamole Dip

• Use fresh avocados, not frozen. And use them when they’re perfectly ripe.
• Make sure to use enough lime – lime not only enhances the flavor of the avocados but it helps to keep the guacamole from turning brown.
• You can use lemon juice instead of lime, in a pinch, but it just doesn’t taste as good.
• Plan to eat the guacamole soon after making it.
• Knock the seeds and some of the juicier bits out of the tomato before adding it to the guacamole to keep it from getting too thin.
• De-seed the jalapeno and remove the white ribs to keep the heat under control.

What To Serve With Easy Keto Guacamole

Of course tortilla chips are the usual dipper of choice for guac fans, but to keep the carbs under control, here are some alternatives:

• Low-carb tortillas brushed with butter and then toasted in the oven
• Bell pepper slices
• Pork rinds
• Crispy Crackers
• Any other veggie sticks

How To Store Guacamole Dip

Guacamole is best enjoyed as soon as you make it, but you can squeeze a bit more time out of keeping it fresh if you:

• Use enough lime that you can taste the tangy lime flavor in the background
• Put the guacamole into a container with a narrow top. Press plastic wrap down and directly onto the surface of the guac, pressing out any air bubbles.
• Store it in the fridge where it is dark and cool.
• If the top of the guacamole does discolor, just scrape that layer off. The rest should be fine underneath.
