Guacamole without chips

Erik Reckdenwald · 01-05-2007, 10:09 AM

For anyone looking to enjoy guacamole without eating chips, try sliced cucumber instead. The cucumber pairs nicely with the guacamole and is much healthier.

I keep coming back to nori. I like it rolled in nori with some greens.

Guacamole and turkey burgers (my wife's favorite).

I like a cut up avocado mixed with TJ's Tongol Tuna, some olive oil, sea salt, pepper, and cilantro.

Hey Garrett, what a great alternative to mayo for a tuna salad! Thanks!

Hey DR. G's back?
Nice to see you posting again.

Darrell, I use olive oil to moisten everything rather than mayo. May not make it "tuna salad," but it makes it "tuna yummy".

Scott:

Another good idea! I had the guac with tuna today for lunch and it was great.

Guac (and plain ol' avocado) is really yummy with steak.

A favorite meal around my house is steak over a big bed of arugula (or a spinach/arugula combo), with avocado and a drizzle of balsamic reduction. Quite the combo of flavors and textures: savory (steak), peppery (arugula), sweet and tangy (reduced balsamic), cool and creamy (avocado). Mmmm.

We had it with oven-roasted cauliflower tonight in fact. (Before learning to prepare it this way I would have said I don't like cauliflower, but, omg, this way it's like french fries or something. Only a billion times healthier.)

You can make your own mayo from lemom juice, olive oil, and egg yolks. All paleo. In general, the ratio is 1 egg yolk for 1/2 to 1 cup of oil, plus 1 tablespoon of acid per cup of sauce. Google home made mayonnaise for instructions
