Freezer Guacamole
Ingredients
- 6 avocados peeled, pitted and mashed
- 1 1/2 tbsp lemon or lime juice
- 3-4 cloves of garlic minced
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Cut the avocadoes in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the avocado with a spoon and transfer to a bowl. Cut and dice.
- Mince garlic and add to the diced avocado. Then add salt + EVOO. Mix together until it reaches your desired consistency.
- To freeze, pack the guacamole into ziplock bags and squeeze all the air out. Alternatively, you can put em' in freezer containers and put plastic wrap over the top to prevent freezer burn.
- Once ready to use, remove em' from the freezer and let it thaw in the fridge for several hours (or overnight)! Make sure you taste-test to make sure you like it before you freeze it!
- After done thawing, you can add your desired extra ingredients--for instance, diced tomatoes, cilantro, diced onions, sprinkle of paprika, ground black pepper, diced mango...
Notes
*Try to avoid adding any tomatoes or other vegetables since that can make it get rather soggy when it thaws!
**In an effort to reduce waste, I'd recommend using reusable containers! Mason jars work pretty well, especially if you go for wide-mouth jars. Fill it up, leaving ~1 inch to allow for expansion as it freezes, and make sure to avoid any air bubbles or pockets. Then smooth out the top and add a thin layer of EVOO to prevent the top from turning brown.
