Tips

  • Guacamole makes a healthy spread on sandwiches, wraps and rolls in place of margarine or butter. 
  • Avocadoes provide essential unsaturated fatty acids with the added benefit of fibre.  
  • Making your own dips allows you to control the ingredients to make it as healthy as possible.  

  • Buy ‘Odd Bunch’, ‘I’m Perfect’ or ‘Imperfect Picks’ avocadoes to help reduce food waste. 
  • This is a good recipe for using up avocadoes that are very ripe. 
  • Guacamole is best eaten on the day it is made. Use it up as a dip, spread on crackers, wraps or toast, with tacos or in a burrito bowl. 

  • Bottled lime juice can be used to save time and money. 
  • To save money make this recipe when avocadoes are in season. 

Method

Step 1
In a bowl, mash the avocado with a fork.

Step 2
Fold through the onion, coriander (if using), tomatoes and half the lime juice. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 3
Taste and add more lime juice if required.
