Creamy and Healthy Guacamole

Guacamole is the jewel of healthy appetizers thanks to the avocado’s monounsaturated fats. The key to good guacamole is not just the ripeness of the fruit, but the balance between the acidity of the lime and the perfect level of seasoning. To bring out all the flavors of the cilantro and tomato without adding sodium, we will use Bonsalt 0%, keeping the dish 100% heart-healthy.

Technical Sheet

• Difficulty: ⭐

• Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

• 3 ripe avocados (Hass type)

• 1 medium ripe tomato (pear type), seeded and diced into small cubes

• ½ red onion, finely chopped

• 1 jalapeño or serrano chili (optional, for spice lovers)

Step-by-Step Professional Preparation

1. Avocado preparation: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Place it in a bowl or, for a traditional style, in a molcajete (stone mortar).

2. The perfect mash: Mash the avocado with a fork. Chef's tip: Don’t aim for a completely smooth puree; authentic guacamole should have a few small chunks to add texture.

3. Acidity and oxidation: Immediately pour the lime juice over the avocado. This not only adds freshness, but the acid prevents the avocado from oxidizing and darkening.

4. Garden-fresh integration: Add the red onion, diced tomato, cilantro, and chili. Gently mix with folding motions.

5. Technical seasoning: Add a generous amount of Bonsalt 0%. The potassium in Bonsalt is the perfect ally for fatty fruits like avocado, as it enhances their subtle flavor without masking it, allowing the lime and cilantro to shine on the palate.

6. Short rest: Let it rest for about 5 minutes at room temperature so the flavors can blend before serving.
