Fresh Guacamole (KETO Friendly)

Guacamole with green salsa on top.

Ingredients:

2 ripe medium avocados

2 tablespoons lime juice (or lemon juice)

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 cup green salsa or 1 jalapeno finely diced

2 cloves minced garlic (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)

1/2 - 1 teaspoon sea salt or pink Himalayan salt

2 tablespoons diced red or orange bell pepper

1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon dry red pepper flakes (optional)

1/4 cup sour cream for garnish (optional)

Immersion blender or fork

Method:

Halve and peel avocados. Chop into a small bowl. If using a fork, mash avocados. Add next 7 ingredients. 

Mash and stir with a fork for a chunkier texture. Blend with an immersion blender for a creamier texture. If desired, top with a dollop of sour cream. Serves 4. 
(If the avocados you have are hard, preheat your oven to 90*. Wrap the avocados in foil and place in oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and refrigerate for 10 minutes. This will make your avocados ready to use in just 20 minutes!)

Notes: 
Serve with chips, veggies or Mexican dishes. Recipe may be doubled. 
The juice helps prevent the avocados from browning. When I buy limes or lemons (or receive them from friends),  I juice them and put the juice into ice cube trays. Once the they are frozen, I remove the juice cubes and continue to store in covered containers, or baggies, in the freezer. That way I always have "fresh" juice when I need it. I also grate some of the peel and save in tiny containers, in the freezer, as well.

If you like, a blender or food processor may be used to blend the ingredients.
