Avocados are one of the most versatile foods around, so it’s no wonder that they’re so popular. However, one of the best ways to enjoy them is mashing them up with a few other key ingredients to make the Mexican dish, guacamole.
This rich green dip is amazing served with nachos, tacos, or simply on toast, and its no-cook nature means it’s very easy to make too. There are only a few ingredients involved, and minimal prep too. But if you want to make yours taste even better, there’s one fridge staple you should consider adding immediately, as it makes such a difference.
The foodie experts at Taste.com.au say there is an easy way to whip up the ‘smoothest and creamiest’ guacamole you’ve ever had in your life – just add some natural yoghurt.
It’s said to perfectly complement the zesty taste of lime juice in your guacamole, and makes it ‘extra fluffy’ too.
Not only that, but it’s also freezer-friendly – so perfect if you want to make a big batch and save it for when you’ve got guests coming for dinner or drinks. No more brown, mushy guacamole – freezing and allowing it to thaw also creates a creamy consistency along with the addition of the yoghurt.
Here’s how you can make this popular dip at home.
Method
Place the avocado, onion, garlic, yoghurt, lime juice and a few drops of Tabasco in a large bowl. Use a fork to mash everything together until fully it’s fully combined.
You can serve it straight away, or if you want to keep it for a later date, spoon the mixture into an airtight container. Drizzle some olive oil on top, then seal and freeze for up to three months.
When you want to eat the guacamole, thaw it overnight in the fridge the night before, then sprinkle with some fresh chopped coriander on top. Serve with tortilla chips, or anything else that you like.
Spoon into an airtight container. Drizzle the top with olive oil. Seal and freeze for up to 3 months.
