We have been talking a lot about the versatility of micro-greens in the kitchen. Really the only thing you need to avoid is heat exposure, so they are really useful in the kitchen. They go way beyond sandwich and salad toppers. One of our favorite uses is to wow people with our homemade dips and sauces. The fan favorite to date is by far the guacamole with our cilantro micro-greens!
Micro-greens are perfect to blend into any sauce, and in this case they smash well into some homemade guacamole. The huge flavor in these small micro-greens really work well with guac because they are delicate enough to mix into the creamy avocados, but the flavor comes through with every bite!
Here is what you will need to make this amazing dish:
– 2 Ripe Avocados
– 1 Lime – squeezed fresh
– 1/4 cup Diced Red Onion
– Garlic Powder – just a dash
– Onion Powder – Just a dash
– Salt – Just a dash
– Cilantro Micros – add to taste
Start with the avocados. Find the most ripe ones and dice them into a bowl. Then we add some diced red onion. For the spices we add a dash of onion and garlic powder and salt to your taste. Then squeeze 1 lime into the bowl and place the cilantro greens (with seed husk) on top and mix all of the ingredients together with a fork. We use lots of cilantro micros, but feel free to add as little or as much as you like. It doesn’t take too long before the guac is creamy and ready to go to the fridge. This would also be the time to add any other toppers you may enjoy like diced tomatoes or salsa.
Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and place in the fridge to cool. After chilling, this guac is going to be ready for your toast, chips, tacos, or even to eat by the spoonful. This simple guacamole is a game changer. Be a party hero and bring some superfood guacamole to your next get together!
