Hey Love Bees! 🐝
When I returned home from my backpacking trip across Europe, there was one food I was really craving. Avocados! 🥑
Avocados are packed with powerful antioxidants, and are a great source of vitamins A, C, E and K, as well as B vitamins (including Folate). They’re also high in magnesium and potassium, and are a magnificent source of healthy fats!
The micronutrients in avocados work to decrease free radical damage and inflammation in the body, and improve eye, skin and joint health, as well as brain function and immune function.
They also aid the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins into the body, and assist with normal growth and repair.
Today, I’m sharing my easy vegan guacamole recipe, which combines the creaminess of avocado with the sweet bite of red onion, and the fruity flavours of fresh apricots!
This guacamole can be used as a dip for raw veggies, spread on top of whole grain toast, or eaten with your favourite Mexican dish!
I hope you enjoy! 💚
- 2 Avocados (approximately 100g each)
- 2 Apricots (approximately 40g each)
- 1 Small Red Onion (approximately 40g)
- 4 Tsp Lemon Juice
- 4 Tsp Fresh Coriander Leaf (Cilantro), Diced.
- 1/2 Tsp Garlic Granules
- A Dash of Salt to Taste!
- Using the back of a fork, mash the avocados with the lemon juice, garlic granules, coriander and salt.
- Finely dice the apricots and red onion, and add them into the avocado mix, stirring thoroughly.
- Garnish with more coriander and serve.
- Recipe makes approx. 300g of Guacamole!
This isn’t a dish I would typically eat, but man, you’ve made it look super pretty!!
Teehee! Aw, thank you! <3 xx
Guacamole is literally the only way I eat avocados. This sounds fab, I’ve bookmarked it to try!
Yay! I really hope you enjoy it! <3 xx
While I grew up in California,avocados was the one food I never learned to like. I might pass on this dish but I will pin it and share it for my friends who do like them…
Aw, I’m sorry to hear you don’t like them, but thank you SO much for pinning my recipe! <3 Avocados definitely seem to be like marmite - people either love them or hate them! xx
Being from the state where they are grown from,you would think I would but alas,not to be!
I only just started eating avacados recently and this looks so lovely. Thank you for a great recipe.
Yay! That’s awesome! <3 I really hope you enjoy! xx
That guac looks so pretty (mine never looks like that LOL), I have a few friends who are vegan so this is great for when they come by!
That’s awesome! I hope they enjoy it! <3 xxx
This looks yummy, the colour is so vibrant and looks beautiful – love nice presentation 🙂 x
Thank you so much! <3 xx
I’m kind of ashamed to admit that I’m not a big fan of guacamole, but this this does look quite nice
Hehe! Aw, it’s definitely not for everyone – people seem to either love it or hate it! Personally, I’m a convert! Now I can’t get enough of it! 😀 xx
I think I must be the only person who doesn’t like avocado’s, although my mum loves guacamole so would love this x
I absolutely love the sound of this, being a huge Avacado fan this sounds like the perfect combo, cant wait to try it out now x
Yay!! I really hope you love it!xx 💚🥑💚
I love this picture it’s beautiful, I want that bowl (where did you get it?) I am not really the biggest fan of Guacamole, however this recipe seems unique and something I’d give a try! 🙂 x
Aw, thank you! I got the bowl as part of a set of three (on a bamboo base) from Amazon! 🙂 xxx
Though I am not vegan, that guacamole recipe sure looks delish and would definitely try one. Avocados are seriously good and mixing apricots with it too, yummy!
I love finding different ways to make guac. I love peach guac, but this sounds delicious too.
Ohh! Yes, peach guac is lovely! Plums work well too I find 🙂 xx
I love guacamole! I’ve been thinking about making my own a lot recently so would definitely love to try this out!
Yay! I really hope you like it! 🙂 xx
What a lovely flavour combination! We need to eat more avocados and this sounds like an ideal way!
This looks absolutely scrumptious! I would never think to put apricots in guacamole, but I bet it gives a new fresh flavour to an old favourite. Certainly the colours are appetising and makes me want to have Chili with all the trimmings for tea!
Ohh!! Yum – you’re making me hungry now! 🙂 Can’t beat chilli with all the trimmings! <3 xx
I love avocados and this sounds delish, definitely like something I would make. Can I ask, do you think it would work well with dried apricots instead? I just wondered, because I have plenty of them and it sounds like a great way to use them up.
Ohh! I’ve never made it with dried ones before, but I’m sure it’d work! 🙂 If they’re the super dried-out ones, you could maybe soak them in a little warm water first, to make them a little softer! I’d love to know how it turns out! <3 xxx
I have spent years thinking I disliked avocados only to discover recently that I love them now. This recipe looks wonderful with all those vibrant colours.
Oh wow! I was the same, I didn’t eat avo’s for years! I’m so happy that we both gave them another go! <3 xx
This looks and sounds amazing. I would love to try it
My first thought was, I bet that smells amazing!! This looks so tasty and healthy. Thank you for sharing this recipe 🙂
Wow what a unique take on guacamole!! I’d had to admit I’ve never had one with apricot before!
Wow! this looks so good! And I love how it has a crunchy texture. I hate with gauc is soapy! I must try this!
