Guacamolish Avocado Paste

Hey Lovelies!

In this post I want to share with you one of my favorite foods of all time - avocado paste! I'm not calling it guacamole, cause it's not exactly guacamole, but it's kinda guacamol-ish :)

I absolutely love avocado because it's by definition a super food, packed with nutrients and munchy goodness. It doesn't have a strong taste or aroma, which means it can be added to pretty much everything - from soups and salads, to desserts. It's a great source of non-saturated fatty acids, vitamins E, C, B6, K, potassium, copper, pantothenic acid, and fiber. It also has a very low glycemic index, which means it contributes to metabolism and weight loss.

It's very important to be able to pick out the avocados in the store, especially if you live in a country far, far away from where they are grown (like me). Below is a simple guide how to distinguish one avocado from the other:


So, without further ado, here is the recipe for the guacamolish avocado paste :)

INGREDIENTS:

2 ripe Avocados
1 tb spoon Sesame tahini
1 tb spoon Olive oil
1 small Onion bulb, chopped
2 Limes or 1, 1 1/2 Lemons

Salt and dill to taste






PREPARATION:

If the avocados are ripe enough, you can simply mash them with a fork along with the sesame tahini, olive oil, lemon or lime juice and salt. If they're not soft enough, you can use a hand blender to puree them.







After you have a nice smooth paste, add the onion and dill and mix it up. NOTE: Don't forget to put the avocado seed on top of the paste - this way it won't turn brown and will last longer.

And that's it! You can use it as a spread, dip or topping - it's always delicious :)

My paste, just made :)


With Love,
