Chunky Guacamole Recipe with Greek Flavors (keto)
This chunky guacamole recipe is full of Greek flavors from the briny olives, salty feta cheese to the sweet tomatoes and creamy avocados. It's a great low carb dip to take to a party or just eat as a snack. One serving is just 3.6g net carbs, 5g fiber and 5.2g protein!
Ingredients
- 2 avocados, chopped
- ¼ cup grape tomatoes, finely diced
- ⅔ cup feta cheese, cubed or crumbled
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh
- zest of ½ lemon
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, minced
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- ¼ teaspoon oregano
- 4 kalamata olives, finely diced
Instructions
-
NOTE if you don't want the Greek flavors, just eliminate the olives and oregano. Substitute the lemon juice for lime juice and the parsley for cilantro leaves.
-
Make the dressing by whisking together the lemon juice, zest, olive oil, oregano and fresh crusted garlic. Set aside.
-
Chop the avocados, tomatoes, parsley and olives and place in the bowl. Add feta cheese and mix gently to combine. Add the dressing and carefully mix again. I like larger pieces of avocados but if you want the texture to be more creamy, you can add the avocados first and smash with the back of fork first, then add the other ingredients.
-
Cover with plastic wrap and push down on the surface layer to keep the avocados from browning. Refrigerate until ready to eat. Use the plastic wrap in the same way for leftovers.
-
Serve with tortillas if you don't care about carbs. If you are on a low carb diet, eat the with low carb tortilla chips, low carb crackers or fresh vegetables like sweet bell peppers cut in half like a scoop, cucumber, celery or carrots.
