Ingredients

2 medium avocados 280g flesh
1 tablespoon lime juice Juice of ½ lime
⅓ small red onion finely chopped (20g)
¼ teaspoon sea salt or more to taste

Instructions

First of all, slice the avocados in half and remove the seeds. Scoop out the flesh with a large spoon.
Chop the onions. Rinsing them under cold running water for 30 seconds after chopping removes any pungency and softens the flavor.
Place the avocado flesh, lime juice and sea salt in a bowl and mash with a fork or a potato masher until well combined, leaving some chunks. Alternatively, pulse briefly in a small blender for a smoother guacamole.
Stir through the finely chopped red onion. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve.

Notes

1.8g net carbs per serving. Makes 1 heaped US measuring cup of guacamole = 4 servings of ¼ cup each.

Optional extras: Top with ⅓ cup chopped and de-seeded cherry tomatoes, 2 tablespoon chopped cilantro and add ½ clove crushed garlic and a pinch of red chili flakes to the base.

Serve straight away or chill in the fridge for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Store leftovers in the fridge in a bowl covered with clingfilm touching the guacamole so there are no air pockets. It stays fresh for up to 2 days.
