Easy Vegan Guacamole Recipe with Lime


Karina's easy vegan guacamole- vegan and dairy-free.


A blast from the past. And a quickie fun recipe for May from our time in Santa Fe, where we spent many a high desert evening beneath a dome of rosy violet skies, indulging in freshly mashed guacamole laced with lots of lime and local sweet cherry tomatoes. Not to mention,  rustling up platters of green chile enchiladas and calabasitas.

Tonight I am sipping a lime-laced iced green tea as I write, and contemplating why I love that high desert country, its deep and penetrating miles of skies, and air that sparkles with the hair-raising urge toward flight into unknown territory. New Mexico is a magical place. It will- forever- be in my heart.

So perhaps I'll make this easy guacamole tonight, snug as I am, back in a cozy cottage in the woods of Connecticut... where a different kind of magic awaits, and claims my heart.

Peace and love,

Super easy vegan guacamole. Fresh. Fast. Gluten-free.

Karina's Easy Vegan Guacamole Recipe with Lime + Sweet Cherry Tomatoes

This guac is as easy as uno, dos, tres. So simple. No onions. No salsa. Nothing fancy. It is clean, creamy and fresh tasting- and laced with plenty of lime.

Ingredients:

2-3 ripe organic avocados
1 fresh garlic clove, minced
10 sweet cherry or yellow pear tomatoes, quartered
Juice from 1 large juicy lime, more limes for garnish, if desired
Finely chopped fresh cilantro, if desired

Instructions:

Halve and pit the avocados. Using a soup spoon, scoop out each avocado into a bowl. Grab a potato masher and smash the avocado. Add the garlic and lime juice and mix until smooth (or lightly mash and leave it chunky, if you prefer). Stir in the tomatoes; reserve a few for garnish on the top.

Serve immediately with crispy gluten-free organic corn tortilla chips.

Best served fresh.

This super easy guac is mucho tasty as a condiment to quesadillas, enchiladas, omelettes and frittatas, and other southwestern and Mexican-inspired dishes.
Serves 4.

Gluten-Free Goddess Zucchini Bread

Got Zukes Galore? Sharing a favorite summer recipe here on Gluten-Free Goddess-- a cinnamon laced tea bread made with garden fresh zucchini. You'll love it. And so will everyone else. I also jotted down some batter and baking tips for ya. See below. GFG Tips on gluten-free bread baking: Here's my all-time favorite baking pan for gluten-free breads. It's a lovely glazed ceramic pan that creates steady, even heating for gluten-free batters. In other words, it's as foolproof as you can get. Find it here at Amazon:  Good Cook 9-Inch Ceramic Loaf Pan . Make sure your batter isn't cold when you put it into the oven. If you keep your flours in the fridge, for instance, this will cool down your batter quite a bit. If you find your batter is cooler than room temperature, allow the batter to rest in the pan near the pre-heating stove and let it come to room temperature before you place the bread pan in the oven to bake (I also do this with cakes sometimes). The first time

Coconut Milk Ice Cream Berry Parfaits

Parfait this! Easy fancy for a long hot summer- so bookmark this one... a simple, creamy coconut ice cream recipe served parfait style with blueberries and strawberries. And it's naturally gluten-free and dairy-free. And because you make it yourself, gum-free and carrageenan-free. So many yays. It was sunny and hot yesterday, and today is a repeat. So during a heat wave, even a modest two-day hot fest, yours truly is unable to muster any enthusiasm for cooking. Typically, I live on gluten-free granola. And ice cream. Yes, I know. I am a poor, sad, sad role model. What kind of food blogger doesn't rise to the challenge and cheer-lead you to whip up baby kale and avocado salads and raw maca peach turmeric and oat milk smoothies? What kind of food blogger would simply give in to her sticky, prickly fatigue and general overall crankiness and not create some virtuous, nutrition packed bunny food miracle slurry for you? This one. She who is about to share a no-cook reci
