Using avocados, this recipe is full of healthy fats, and is naturally dairy-free, egg-free, oil-free and gluten-free too.
- 2 avocados
- 2 tablespoons minced onion
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons tomatoes (diced)
- 2 teaspoons lime juice (more if desired)
- ¼ teaspoon salt (more if desired)
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper (more if desired)
-
Peel and mash the avocadoes in a bowl using the back of a fork.
-
Add all the other seasonings into the bowl and mix well together. Ready to serve!
Feel free to add in more onion, salt or ground black pepper as desired. If you would like a deeper and richer flavor, chill the bowl for 30 minutes in the refrigerator after all the ingredients are mixed together before enjoying. This refrigeration time will let the flavors blend beautifully together for a greater 'mouth popping' flavor!
