Homemade Guacamole with Essential Oils

My sweet grandson is at the beach this week, and it is pouring the rain. Not in the mood to read, but I am in the mood for a snack. So my “me” time today is going to look like a big bowl of homemade guacamole with essential oils and a large pile of tortilla chips.

I have always loved guacamole but never made it homemade before Cov-19. I have a Mexican restaurant a couple of minutes from my house, so each time I crave this Avocado feast from heaven, I just run there and grab a bowl. But with being confined to quarantine due to Covid-19 to be safe, I decided there was no better time than the present to learn to make my own and use what I had.

I fell into the whole substituting essential oils for the lime and lemon as a fluke. I have been using oils for years, but I admit I mostly diffuse and only use certain foods. When I started to get out all the ingredients, I realize that I forgot one of the most important ingredients. Limes. And you can’t have guacamole without limes. So this girl improvised. To my surprise, I loved it, and every time I have made this taste bud sensation, I still choose to substitute my oils for the real limes and lemons.

I hope you enjoy this recipe and your Take Ten break. Leave me a comment if you try. I would love to know how you like my recipe.

Ingredients:

Three Avocados peeled and mashed

One Tomato diced

1/2 onion chopped diced

3 cloves of garlic peeled and pressed

Juice of a lime or 5 drops of Lime Essential Oil

1 tsp of lemon juice or 1 drop of Lemon Essential Oil

Salt and pepper taste

*Can add cilantro or jalapeño for spice. I prefer to make without.

Mix all ingredients. Chill.

Next… grab a bowl full of tortilla chips, put your feet up, and enjoy!
