Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 0.25 cups plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 whole small tomato, diced
- 0.25 cups small red onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 whole jalapeño, finely diced (optional)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
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 they reach your desired consistency (smooth or chunky).
Stir in the Greek yogurt until evenly combined, making the guacamole creamy and light.
Add the lime juice and salt, mixing well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Fold in the chopped cilantro, diced tomato, red onion, and minced garlic. If using jalapeño for extra spice, stir it in as well.
Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning as needed by adding more salt or lime juice to taste.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or as a topping for your favorite dishes. Store leftovers in an airtight container with a piece of plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to minimize browning.
