]]> Okay, so you know guacamole, right? That creamy avocado dip spread that’s a must-have in every social gathering? Well, while it’s already the epitome of yumminess as is, there’s a simple secret ingredient that can really take it to the next level.

So, get ready to level up your guac game with (drumroll)… roasted garlic.

Roasting Your Way to Perfection 

All you have to do is slice off the top of a whole garlic bulb to expose the cloves, drizzle it with olive oil, wrap it up in foil, and put it in the oven for 30-40 minutes until it’s soft and caramelized.

Later, when you’re mashing up some ripe avocados to make your guacamole, you just need to mash those golden nuggets too, and throw them in the mix.

The result will be a rich, flavorful variation of traditional guacamole that’ll make your inner chef proud. Think creamy avocado meets sweet, caramelized garlic—It’s definitely a match made in culinary heaven.

So, next time you’re whipping up a batch of guac for taco night or just the occasional Netflix binge, remember the roasted garlic trick. Your homemade guacamole will never be basic again.

]]> If you’re just like everyone else in the world that’s part of this “superfood kick”, then you’ve likely become quite partial to avocados—and quite possibly guacamole. Of course, eating guacamole and making it are two completely different things. If you’ve struggled with making guac in the past and can’t figure out why, then it could be you’re overlooking this not-so-small factor: texture.

There are so many things to focus on when making guacamole: the seasonings, the onions, the tomatoes, you name it. As a result, it can sometimes lead you to forget about focusing on the most important thing of all: the avocado itself! Indeed, you may start mashing it when it’s not ripe enough, or perhaps too ripe.

These small mishaps can lead to bad texture in your guacamole, which will bring down its quality. It doesn’t matter how much salt or lemon you add at that point. If your avocado is bad, the guacamole’s texture will suffer as a result. When it comes to a perfect guac texture, you want to make sure it’s fresh but not hard, and also smooth but not runny. If you can do those things, the rest is a breeze!

]]> Guacamole is one of the most popular dips on this planet. Made with tasty and scrumptious avocados, there’s a reason that you can find it at nearly every restaurant you go to and why it’s a staple at every Mexican cuisine around the world. If you’re looking to make some yourself at home, here’s a easy recipe that always gets the job done.

Prepping the Avocado

First off, make sure the avocado is ready. It’s ready if it’s no longer hard, but also not too mushy that it’s pretty much rotten. Mash up the avocado in a bowl so that it’s not too mushy and not too chunky either.

Adding Veggies and Seasonings

Now you’re going to want to add some other ingredients. This is where every guacamole recipe differs, but a popular move is to cut up tomatoes and onions and toss them in the bowl, mixing as you go. You’ll also want to add some seasonings. We’d recommend adding salt and pepper to taste, along with a dash of lemon juice.

Indeed, guacamole is one of those recipes that really evolves as you go and you’ll want to keep a close eye on how it’s tasting as you continue through the process. If it tastes good, it probably is good, so trust yourself!

]]> Here’s the thing about guacamole. It’s pretty much a perfect food. Everybody loves it. You can eat it alone or at a party. You can dip things in it, put it in your burrito, smear it on toast, or just eat it with a spoon. And, if you use this recipe, you can make a version of guacamole that tastes fantastic but is also incredibly easy to whip up without any stress. Sound good? Keep reading to learn how.

Ingredients

  • Avocado – Because duh
  • Lime or lemon juice – Are limes hard to come by in your area? No worries. Lemon juice will work too.
  • Garlic powder – Ain’t nobody got time to mince fresh garlic. Use garlic powder. Nobody will know the difference.
  • Salt
  • Pepper

If you’re one of those cilantro people, you can also add that, too. No need, though. It’ll taste just as delicious without it.

Directions

Cut the avocado in half. Carefully remove the pit. Use a knife to dice the avocado while it’s still in the skin. Then take a big spoon and scoop out the diced avocado flesh into a big bowl.

Add lime juice (or lemon!) and mash with a fork until you get your desired, partially chunky texture. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Taste. Add more garlic powder because you probably didn’t add enough before. And enjoy!

]]> Guacamole is definitely one of the most popular foods on the planet right now. This avocado-based dip might have been born in Mexico, but is now available in restaurants and is enjoyed throughout the world these days.

Guacamole can be made non-spicy, but many people prefer a hot version. Here are some easy ways to heat up your guacamole.

Jalapeno Peppers

Chopping up jalapeno peppers and placing them into your guacamole is a simple and easy way to make the dip spicier. Don’t overdo it with the seeds, however, as this might make your guacamole too spicy to even enjoy!

Chili Flakes

If you don’t have time or don’t have any fresh peppers in your home, that doesn’t mean that you can’t make spicy guacamole. In fact, why not just add some hot chili flakes? This will give your guacamole a bit of a kick, and all you have to do is reach into your spice pantry to grab it!

Chili Peppers

You don’t have to use jalapeno peppers to give your guacamole a spicy kick. In fact, any old type of chili pepper will do. Whether red or green, feel free to chop one up and throw it into your guacamole to make it spicy.

]]> Guacamole is one of the most in vogue dips out there right now. This avocado-based treat is so simple, however, it’s way too easy to find guacamole that has been made into something that is far away from what it should be.

These tips will help you avoid mistakes that will ruin your next batch of guacamole.

Don’t Use Garlic

Let us repeat: do not use garlic! It might seem tempting to add this ingredient to guacamole, but it will absolutely overwhelm the flavor of the dip and make it nearly impossible to eat. Just say no to garlic in guac.

Let Avocado Be the Star

The principal ingredient in guacamole is avocado, and this is for an important reason. The delicious, creamy texture and flavorful nature of guacamole are meant to be put on display in guacamole, so don’t over-add other ingredients like chiles or onions and make it disappear from the center stage.

Don’t Forget to Salt

Have you ever tried guacamole that tasted bland for some reason? The most likely explanation for this is a lack of salt. It’s important to add a little bit of salt to guacamole to enhance its flavor and make it pop.

G U A C A M O L E but not just guacamole, guacamole with bacon dunkers and crunchy seeds. Don't worry I've not turned into a low carb person, switching bacon into every recipe but this is a time when it works. This is my take on one of the appetizers served at my favourite taco place, @zonarosalg in my old town of Los Gatos, California. The salty crunch of the seeds and bacon balances out of the creaminess of the guac. Make a bowl of this for someone and, unless they're vegetarian, they'll think you're a Don. While you're at it, make the grapefruit margarita from my site for the full experience.

Instructions

Guacamole is the holy grail of dipping sauces. The classic recipe is amazing, but there are so many upgrades you should try. This version is spiced up with kimchi and bacon, which sounds next level right from the start.

To prepare it all you have to do is mix all the ingredients together, with the exception of the bacon and kimchi. Once you’ve combined them in the bowl, start mashing them. You should achieve a texture to your liking.

The next step is to also include the kimchi and bacon. Stir everything very well together.

This is the tastiest chips dip that you’ve tried in a while. Serve it with your favorite type of chips on the side.

]]> Eating more vegetables can be hard, especially when you just want to snack on some dips. Luckily, it’s much easier to do when you make these two important swaps that keep you healthy yet still eating delicious food, so sub in these tips and see the difference.

Guacamole

Everyone loves to enjoy guacamole as a snack, and even the guacamole itself can be a great way to add in more vegetables to your diet if you load it up with onions and tomatoes. However, even if you opt for the store-bought stuff, you can still add more veggies to your diet by dipping vegetables into it instead of chips! Use celery, endives, peppers, radishes, and any other hard vegetables that be used to scoop that delicious guac.

Salsa

Store-bought salsa isn’t terrible for you, but it’s definitely not as good as the homemade stuff. With homemade salsa, you can add in a ton of vegetables into your meal without even realizing it! All you have to do is get tomatoes, garlic, onion, cilantro, and any other vegetables you want, roast them for a while, and then whiz it up in a food processor or blender with salt, pepper, and lime juice.

Thank you @saralizadams! . 28oz can whole tomatoes, drained 20 oz (2 cans) original Rotel 1/4 cup onion, chopped 1/2 cup cilantro 1 tsp garlic, minced 1/2 tsp ground cumin 1/4 tsp salt Juice from half a lime • #ww #wwfamily #wellnessthatworks #weightwatchers #wwfreestyle #wwbride #wwnewlywed #smartpoints #sp #smarties #wwonline #wwigfamily #wwinspiration #wwtennessee #losingweight #weightloss #healthylifestyle #notadiet #beyondthescale #lifestylechange #wwsisterhood #wwfamily #healthyfood #smartpointsfam #healthyjourney #healthygoals #balancedlife #wwrecipe #wwrecipes #salsa #homemadesalsa

Prepping the Avocado

First off, make sure the avocado is ready. It’s ready if it’s no longer hard, but also not too mushy that it’s pretty much rotten. Mash up the avocado in a bowl so that it’s not too mushy and not too chunky either.

Adding Veggies and Seasonings

Now you’re going to want to add some other ingredients. This is where every guacamole recipe differs, but a popular move is to cut up tomatoes and onions and toss them in the bowl, mixing as you go. You’ll also want to add some seasonings. We’d recommend adding salt and pepper to taste, along with a dash of lemon juice.

Indeed, guacamole is one of those recipes that really evolves as you go and you’ll want to keep a close eye on how it’s tasting as you continue through the process. If it tastes good, it probably is good, so trust yourself!

]]> Here’s the thing about guacamole. It’s pretty much a perfect food. Everybody loves it. You can eat it alone or at a party. You can dip things in it, put it in your burrito, smear it on toast, or just eat it with a spoon. And, if you use this recipe, you can make a version of guacamole that tastes fantastic but is also incredibly easy to whip up without any stress. Sound good? Keep reading to learn how.

Ingredients

  • Avocado – Because duh
  • Lime or lemon juice – Are limes hard to come by in your area? No worries. Lemon juice will work too.
  • Garlic powder – Ain’t nobody got time to mince fresh garlic. Use garlic powder. Nobody will know the difference.
  • Salt
  • Pepper

If you’re one of those cilantro people, you can also add that, too. No need, though. It’ll taste just as delicious without it.

Directions

Cut the avocado in half. Carefully remove the pit. Use a knife to dice the avocado while it’s still in the skin. Then take a big spoon and scoop out the diced avocado flesh into a big bowl.

Add lime juice (or lemon!) and mash with a fork until you get your desired, partially chunky texture. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Taste. Add more garlic powder because you probably didn’t add enough before. And enjoy!

]]> Guacamole is definitely one of the most popular foods on the planet right now. This avocado-based dip might have been born in Mexico, but is now available in restaurants and is enjoyed throughout the world these days.

Guacamole can be made non-spicy, but many people prefer a hot version. Here are some easy ways to heat up your guacamole.

Jalapeno Peppers

Chopping up jalapeno peppers and placing them into your guacamole is a simple and easy way to make the dip spicier. Don’t overdo it with the seeds, however, as this might make your guacamole too spicy to even enjoy!

Chili Flakes

If you don’t have time or don’t have any fresh peppers in your home, that doesn’t mean that you can’t make spicy guacamole. In fact, why not just add some hot chili flakes? This will give your guacamole a bit of a kick, and all you have to do is reach into your spice pantry to grab it!

Chili Peppers

You don’t have to use jalapeno peppers to give your guacamole a spicy kick. In fact, any old type of chili pepper will do. Whether red or green, feel free to chop one up and throw it into your guacamole to make it spicy.

These tips will help you avoid mistakes that will ruin your next batch of guacamole.

Don’t Use Garlic

Let us repeat: do not use garlic! It might seem tempting to add this ingredient to guacamole, but it will absolutely overwhelm the flavor of the dip and make it nearly impossible to eat. Just say no to garlic in guac.

Let Avocado Be the Star

The principal ingredient in guacamole is avocado, and this is for an important reason. The delicious, creamy texture and flavorful nature of guacamole are meant to be put on display in guacamole, so don’t over-add other ingredients like chiles or onions and make it disappear from the center stage.

Don’t Forget to Salt

Have you ever tried guacamole that tasted bland for some reason? The most likely explanation for this is a lack of salt. It’s important to add a little bit of salt to guacamole to enhance its flavor and make it pop.

G U A C A M O L E but not just guacamole, guacamole with bacon dunkers and crunchy seeds. Don't worry I've not turned into a low carb person, switching bacon into every recipe but this is a time when it works. This is my take on one of the appetizers served at my favourite taco place, @zonarosalg in my old town of Los Gatos, California. The salty crunch of the seeds and bacon balances out of the creaminess of the guac. Make a bowl of this for someone and, unless they're vegetarian, they'll think you're a Don. While you're at it, make the grapefruit margarita from my site for the full experience.

Instructions

Guacamole is the holy grail of dipping sauces. The classic recipe is amazing, but there are so many upgrades you should try. This version is spiced up with kimchi and bacon, which sounds next level right from the start.

To prepare it all you have to do is mix all the ingredients together, with the exception of the bacon and kimchi. Once you’ve combined them in the bowl, start mashing them. You should achieve a texture to your liking.

The next step is to also include the kimchi and bacon. Stir everything very well together.

This is the tastiest chips dip that you’ve tried in a while. Serve it with your favorite type of chips on the side.

]]> Eating more vegetables can be hard, especially when you just want to snack on some dips. Luckily, it’s much easier to do when you make these two important swaps that keep you healthy yet still eating delicious food, so sub in these tips and see the difference.

Guacamole

Everyone loves to enjoy guacamole as a snack, and even the guacamole itself can be a great way to add in more vegetables to your diet if you load it up with onions and tomatoes. However, even if you opt for the store-bought stuff, you can still add more veggies to your diet by dipping vegetables into it instead of chips! Use celery, endives, peppers, radishes, and any other hard vegetables that be used to scoop that delicious guac.

Salsa

Store-bought salsa isn’t terrible for you, but it’s definitely not as good as the homemade stuff. With homemade salsa, you can add in a ton of vegetables into your meal without even realizing it! All you have to do is get tomatoes, garlic, onion, cilantro, and any other vegetables you want, roast them for a while, and then whiz it up in a food processor or blender with salt, pepper, and lime juice.
