Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, chopped
- 1 piece jalapeño, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Step 2
Mash the avocados with a fork or potato masher until you reach your desired consistency. For diabetics, opt for a chunkier texture to maintain the natural fiber content.
Step 3
Add the lime juice immediately to prevent the avocados from oxidizing and turning brown.
Step 4
Stir in the diced red onion, cherry tomatoes, and jalapeño for a mix of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors.
Step 5
Mix in the chopped cilantro, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and cumin (if using) to enhance the taste profile.
Step 6
Taste the guacamole and adjust seasonings as needed, keeping salt in check for a diabetic-friendly recipe.
Step 7
Serve immediately as a dip with fresh-cut vegetables (like cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, or celery sticks) or as a topping for grilled chicken or fish.
