    • Full of flavors & refreshing- Perfectly balanced flavors coming from lime juice, cilantro, parsley, and garlic. I love the fact that I made it without using tomato and no compromise in consistency. Fresh aromatic herbs with creamy avocado makes a refreshing, delicious, and creamy dip for anytime. Having parsley and cilantro together it is kind of chimichurri guacamole.
    • Healthy & nutritious- Avocado is high in fats and fiber. It is a perfect ingredient to use for fats. This guacamole is yummy and even kids would love it with chips, nachos, crunch wraps, or burrito bowls.
    • Make this guacamole from scratch without tomatoes. It fits in almost all types of diets like, low carb, keto, dairy-free, vegan, gluten-free, whole30, vegetarian, and in macro-friedly diet.

    Ingredients & Notes

    Please check the recipe card for the full ingredient list and measurements.

    Ingredients to make no tomato guacamole

    Avocado, cilantro, parsley, garlic, jalapeno, lime juice, salt, red chili flakes, and red onions are the ingredients to make the recipe.

    How to pick the right avocado? Ripe avocados are dark in color, soft but firm enough. If you find avocados are hard and in light color then just wrap them in brown paper. It helps them to ripen faster. It is always great if you can buy a variety of avocados in terms of ripeness. So that you can use them accordingly for different recipes. Check this article on how to pick the perfect avocado.

    Variations

    What type of onions to use for guacamole? Mostly all the onions work in guacamole. Sweet white onions are great to add for crunch and mild flavor. But you can use any that you have at the time of making. I added red onion and it works perfectly fine for the crunchy and overall flavor profile. If you find harsh after taste or strong flavors from onion, just soak them in cold water for 5 minutes before using them.

    Tomatoes or without tomatoes? Adding tomatoes is completely personal. You can add any variety of tomatoes, make sure they are firm enough. If they are juicier then remove the seeds and then chop them before adding in avocados. I found adding tomato with all seeds makes the runny guacamole. This guacamole recipe is without tomatoes.

    How to make guacamole taste better? Lime, cilantro, onion, and jalapenos are added to make crunchy and spicy guacamole. You can add jalapenos, serranos, or basically any chilies as per the taste. In my recipe, I use jalapenos and red chili flakes to make it a bit spicier. Check this post what all food groups pair well with avocado.

    How to make it without lime? Fresh lime juice adds flavor and freshness. It also prevents guacamole from turning brown. Lemon juice and apple cider vinegar also work well if you want to make guacamole without lime. You can also add store-bought lime/lemon juice as well.

    Cilantro or without cilantro? Cilantro is a herb with a love and hate relationship due to genes that detects the soapy smell that comes from detergents. Due to this many people do not like to add them in salsa. Check these cilantro substitutes in guacamole or you can simply eliminate them from the recipe.

    Substitutions

    • If you like to substitute avocado in guacamole or are allergic to avocados then using edamame, hummus is the best option to go ahead in place of avocado.
    • For lime juice you can use lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.
    • If you like to replace cilantro or parsley check these substitutions for cilantro and substitution for parsley.
    • Instead of fresh jalapeno, try substituting them for pickled jalapeno.
    • Instead of fresh avocado replace it with pickled avocado.

    Tips & FAQ's

    Can you eat guacamole when it turns brown?

    Browning is the result of the oxidation process, though lime juice helps to slow down the process. You need to cover the surface of leftover guacamole completely. But in case you still get the layer of the brown surface, just scrape that down and use it further. There is no harm until guacamole is stored in the refrigerator.

    What to do with leftover guacamole?

    Leftover guacamole can be used in making crunch wrap, burrito bowls, sauce, wraps, dips, toast, sandwiches, and devil eggs.

    What To Eat With Guacamole

    Do you remember eating guacamole paired with crunchy tortilla chips? This is the easy and best way to enjoy this healthy homemade dip. For macro-friendly and healthier options pair it with salad sticks like cucumber, celery sticks, bell peppers, and any steamed vegetables. Below are a few more ways to enjoy it further

    How To Store

    This recipe serves four and gets over so quickly. But still, if you get any leftovers then here is the best way to store them in the refrigerator.

    First, transfer the guacamole to a container and level it with the help of a spoon. Use cling wrap, parchment paper, or beeswax paper, just cover the surface nicely without leaving any air bubbles. Place it in the fridge and it is good to use for 2-3 days easily. In case you get the brown layer, just scrap it down before using it.
