Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Ripe avocados
- 1 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 6 pieces Cherry tomatoes, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 piece Jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Use a fork to mash the avocados until they are smooth but still slightly chunky, depending on your preferred guacamole texture.
Add the low-fat cottage cheese to the bowl and gently fold it into the mashed avocado until well combined.
Stir in the fresh lime juice to add brightness and prevent discoloration of the avocados.
Add the chopped cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, fresh cilantro, and optional jalapeño if you like some heat. Mix well to distribute evenly.
Season the guacamole with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly against the surface of the guacamole to minimize exposure to air, and let it rest in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with your favorite chips, veggie sticks, or use as a topping for tacos, burgers, or salads.
