Guacamole

This traditional Mexican avocado dip, now an international favorite, makes a quick and easy appetizer for guests.

Ingredients

• 1 medium (60 g) tomato, halved
• ½ cup (10 g) fresh cilantro leaves
• ½ small (40 g) onion, peeled
• ½ each lime, peeled
• 1 teaspoon salt, optional
• 2 each (270 g) avocados, pitted, peeled

Directions

1. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
2. Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to Variable 4-8 depending on desired consistency, using the tamper to press ingredients toward the blades. Blend for 15-20 seconds.

Notes

For a chunky style guacamole pulse the ingredients or blend on a lower variable speed. For a smooth guacamole, blend on a higher variable speed. Homemade guacamole is rich in heart-healthy fats from fresh avocados, which support satiety and help your body absorb essential vitamins. Made from simple, fresh ingredients, it’s a flavorful, nutrient-dense option that pairs well with a variety of dishes.
