Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, chopped
- 1 piece jalapeño, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Mash the avocados with a fork or potato masher until you reach your desired consistency. For diabetics, opt for a chunkier texture to maintain the natural fiber content.
Add the lime juice immediately to prevent the avocados from oxidizing and turning brown.
Stir in the diced red onion, cherry tomatoes, and jalapeño for a mix of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors.
Mix in the chopped cilantro, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and cumin (if using) to enhance the taste profile.
Taste the guacamole and adjust seasonings as needed, keeping salt in check for a diabetic-friendly recipe.
Serve immediately as a dip with fresh-cut vegetables (like cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, or celery sticks) or as a topping for grilled chicken or fish.
