Some Substitutions for Your Perfect Healthy Guacamole

Recipes aren’t one-size-fits-all, so here are some substitutions/suggestions for you to make the perfect recipe!

  • The first sub is the tomato. There isn't a specific tomato you NEED to use for this recipe. Italian tomatoes are great because they hold less water, but anything works.
  • Don't have any lime juice? Feel free to sub for some lemon juice.
  • Love onions? Feel free to add some diced red onion to your guac to punch up the flavour!
  • Are you someone who thinks cilantro tastes like soap? Just leave it out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Storage

Storage has never been more important than for guacamole. First, add your guac to an airtight container. Then take some plastic wrap and press it into the guac (not the bowl, the actual guac). Finish with your air-tight lid and pop it into the fridge. 

Pairing

Naturally, tortilla chips are guacamole’s best friend. This recipe is also great served alongside tacos, quesadillas, or fajitas. If you’re making a Tex-Mex salad, I like to add a little guac in as well. 

Shelf Live

If you’re storing your guacamole properly, you should get 3-4 days out of it. If you notice the top has changed colour, but it’s still bright green underneath, you can always scrape off that top layer. The bottom is still good!

My Kitchen Rules to Live By

  • In the words of Bethany Frankel, if you don't love it you don't like it. Find recipes you love, or they're not worth making.
  • Every recipe is really a suggestion; don't be afraid to change something to make it something you love.
  • If you're starting out, don't be afraid to try. The best chefs also had to start with a first dish.
  • Every recipe is best served shared. Find the recipes you love, and share it with those you love.
