Ingredients
- 2 pieces Ripe avocados
- 1 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 6 pieces Cherry tomatoes, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 piece Jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Step 2
Use a fork to mash the avocados until they are smooth but still slightly chunky, depending on your preferred guacamole texture.
Step 3
Add the low-fat cottage cheese to the bowl and gently fold it into the mashed avocado until well combined.
Step 4
Stir in the fresh lime juice to add brightness and prevent discoloration of the avocados.
Step 5
Add the chopped cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, fresh cilantro, and optional jalapeño if you like some heat. Mix well to distribute evenly.
Step 6
Season the guacamole with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Step 7
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly against the surface of the guacamole to minimize exposure to air, and let it rest in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Serve chilled or at room temperature with your favorite chips, veggie sticks, or use as a topping for tacos, burgers, or salads.
