Guacamole Three Ways
Snacking on guacamole and chips is no longer happening only in Mexican and Southwestern restaurants—the avocado-based dip has moved onto mainstream casual-dining menus. But the best versions are made from scratch, using creamy, flavorful Hass avocados enlivened by onions, cilantro, lime juice and other ingredients. Chef Julian Medina creates three authentic guacamoles to serve to snackers as a trio or individually.
Dan Phalen, corporate executive chef for Luby’s Fuddruckers, developed this twist on a classic guacamole to make it healthier for the management company’s hospital accounts. “We noticed that while our patients could definitely use the cardiovascular benefits from the Omega-3 fats in avocados, it still was a substantial amount of fat if eaten in any great quantity,” Phalen says. This recipe is half guacamole and half puréed white beans. “The flavor is very good as a dip with baked pita chips. There’s a significant reduction in fat, plus an added boost of protein from the white beans. This makes for a good sandwich wrap spread as well.”
This guacamole captivates the senses. Full of garlic and onion and made extraordinary by saffron, this dip is served with purple and sweet potato chips.
Great guacamole is easy to make. A few ingredients is all it takes to create this spicy yet soothing blend. Serve with chips or as a garnish.
