Print RecipeThis simple guacamole recipe that can be ready in 5 minutes! It's easy to adjust it to your taste and nutritional needs, perfect as lunch, dinner or as a side to any meal.
Ingredients
- 1 medium avocado (skin and seed removed)
- 3-4 slices leeks (chopped)
- 1 slice red bell pepper (cubed)
- 3 slices cucumber (cut in 4s)
- 5 kalamata olives (slices, no seed)
- lime juice (from 1/4 lime)
- 1/3 tsp salt (I used white salt)
- decorated with kalamata olives (optional)
- served with sourdough bread (optional)
Instructions
- Add sliced avocado, leeks, cucumber, bell pepper, and sliced olives into a medium sized bowl.
- Using a fork, combine everything into a paste. Don’t worry if it take 1 minute or 5 minutes to combine everything. Work on it until it looks like a paste (using a creamy avocado is advised).
- Add salt and lime juice and mix everything nicely until the paste becomes creamy (see my pictures).
- That was it! How easy was that?!
- Serve with sourdough bread (as I did) or with your favorite traditionally made bread.
Notes
In my experience, the best guacamole is prepared using a creamy soft avocado. i discovered that organically grown avocados are always tastier and creamier, which their color looks absolutely perfect.
Since the guacamole is basically prepared with lots of avocado, you’ll probably feel the need to “balance” the avocado with salt. Feel free to use as much or little salt as you feel like. Note that, depending on your activity level or time of day, your salt need may be different (this is perfectly normal, by the way!).
For a boost of healthy fats and phytonutrients, feel free to include 2-3 tsp of high quality extra virgin olive oil to the mix. II hope that you’ll enjoy it as much as I do.
