Guacamole

Guacamole is not only a beloved part of Mexican Food, but also a healthy, nutrition-packed side or snack for anything. A topping for scrambled eggs in the morning or a seared chicken breast at dinner time! Even a to-die for dip for chips, any time!

This is an incredibly fresh and healthy Guacamole dip that is perfect as an appetizer or snack. It’s great for get togethers as well. This will go fast but if you were a little overambitious in the size of your batch, you can very carefully cover and store it for another day or two.

  • Avocado
  • Red Onion
  • Roma Tomato
  • Minced Garlic
  • Cilantro
  • Fresh Lime Juice
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Jalapeños

How to Make Guacamole:

  1. Add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl.
  2. Stir and mash with a fork until it reaches your desired consistency.
  3. Serve and enjoy!

How Long Does Guacamole Last?

Keto guacamole is best eaten as fresh as possible. The lime juice in the guacamole, however, does serve as a “preservative” of sorts, but it’s not enough to make it last significantly long.

If I make too much guacamole or prepare some ahead of time, this is the best way to keep it fresh:

  1. Press the guacamole down into a bowl,
  2. Take a piece of plastic wrap and press it down onto the top surface of the guacamole. The idea here is to limit air exposure as much as possible.

That being said, if you follow my tip the guacamole will still only be good for a maximum of two days when kept refrigerated.

If it has browned a little bit from oxidation, it is still good to eat. Although, the flavor will be impacted and be more bitter than fresh guacamole.
