PALEO II GLUTEN FREE II VEGAN II DAIRY FREE II SOY FREE II NUT FREE II SESAME FREE II TOP 14 FREE
This is such an easy dip that you can use as an alternative to guacamole for those who cannot do deadly nightshades. Perfect with nachos, potato wedges or in a wrap on toast. The pumpkin seeds add a beautiful flavour. I find them so comforting to eat.
Notes on ingredients & substitutions
Avocado
Ripe ones are best for this recipe. Nice soft squidgy avocados.
Limes
Always roll the limes before you use them to get the maximum amount of juice from them.
Olive oil
For dressings and dips, extra virgin cold-pressed is best.
Garnish
You could also add red onions to this dip, some deseeded cucumber, pomegranate seeds, and radish for a nightshade-free guac option ( omit the chilli).

FAQ’s
What's the best type of avocado for making guacamole?
Hass avocados are your best bet for creamy, buttery guacamole. They're readily available and have just the right texture.
How do I stop my guacamole from turning brown?
Worried about your guacamole turning brown? Don't be. You can either keep the avocado pit in the bowl with your guacamole or add a generous squeeze of lime juice. These tried and true methods are effective in slowing down the oxidation process, ensuring your guacamole stays fresh and vibrant.
Can I make guacamole ahead of time?
Absolutely! To minimise air exposure, press cling film directly onto the surface of the guacamole and store it in the fridge. It'll stay fresh for up to one day.
This is best eaten immediately. If you need to refrigerate it, squeeze some lime juice on top, cover and pop it in the fridge for 24 hours.
What are some creative ingredients I can add to guacamole?
You can just experiment by adding ingredients like radish, roasted corn, or even finely diced mango or pomegranate for a sweet twist. Each adds a unique burst of flavour.
What's the right onion to use in guacamole?
Red onion is the go-to ingredient for guacamole. Its mild, sweet flavour complements the other ingredients without overpowering them.
How can I add spice to the dip without using chilli?
Try adding 1 tsp of wasabi or lots of black pepper for a spicy hit of flavour.
