Gut-friendly kimchi guacamole combines the bold flavors and health benefits of Korean kimchi with everyone’s favorite Mexican dip guacamole. This kimchi-guac combination is a must try!
Ingredients
- Avocado – they should be firm with a gentle give when you press your fingers.
- Tomatoes – she uses cherry tomatoes, they have less seeds and are easier to dice up into small pieces
- Red Onion – they add a sharp, tangy flavor to the guac, plus offer a nice pop of color.
- Cilantro – a must, Sophia suggests adding “more than you think you need to!”
- Lime – a non-negotiable she says. “I like to squeeze the juice out with my hands”
Pantry staples that are also added to the guacamole are olive oil, sea salt and pepper.
Best chips to serve with guacamole
Sophia’s guacamole is the star of the show, but she needs the right supporting cast.
The perfect chip brings its own hint of flavor to the party. Sophia’s pick for the perfect chips or crackers to get that guac from bowl to belly are:
✓ Late July Sea Salt and Lime – brings a hint of lime. According to Sophia this options is particularly ideal “if you are low on lime juice and need that extra boost of flavor”
✓ CRUNCHMASTER Multi-Seed Crackers – extra crunchy and nutty, these baked crackers balances the creaminess of guacamole well.
✓ Siete Sea Salt Tortilla Chips – keep the chip flavor to a minimum and let the guacamole shine with these mega crunchy chips.
Storage
Store leftover guacamole in glass air tight container for up to 1 day.
Top leftover guacamole with a thin layer of olive oil, to minimize air contact and therefore oxidation. Alternatively you can add a citrus barrier, like a layer of fresh lemon or lime juice.
Keep in refrigerator until ready to serve again. Give it a stir and serve. Top cilantro to freshen things up.
Easy Guacamole Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 Whole Avocados
- 1/2 cup Red Onion diced small
- 3/4 cup Cherry Tomatoes diced small
- 1/2 cup Cilantro chopped
- 1 Whole Lime juiced
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- Sea Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by adding the avocado to a medium bowl. Smash it with a fork.
- Add the diced onion, make sure they are diced really small.
- Next add the tomatoes. Once diced small, Sophia recommends squeezing the tomatoes between her hands to remove excess tomato juice and seeds. Then add to the bowl.
- The cilantro is next. Sophia takes her time chopping the cilantro into small pieces
- Squeeze in all the juice from one lime. Sophia uses her hands and fingers quite aggressively, releasing some of pulp and flash into the bowl. It's her secret to a fresh limey guac.
- Finalize the guac by adding sea salt and pepper, taste to make sure it is up to your liking. She definitely adds more sea salt than pepper. Add olive and still it all together.
- Serve immediately with your favorite chips.
