Strawberry Mango Guacamole Recipe

Strawberry Mango Guacamole Recipe

Another often used cookbook in my house is Angela Liddon’s Oh She Glows.  This is a favourite recipe of mine when I have my girlfriends over for a chat and some sangrias on the weekend.

Why are strawberries good for you?

This little fruit packs a punch when it comes to nutrients because it’s jammed full of lots of fibre, vitamins and antioxidants.  It’s also great because it’s very low in calories AND delicious to eat.

One little known fact about strawberries is that 8 strawberries provides you with more vitamin C than an orange!  The citrus fruits and known for their high vitamin C content but who knew that the little strawberry could have them beat?

Strawberry allergies

Allergies to strawberries is actually more common than you might think!  People who are more sensitive to apples or birch pollens are more prone to sensitivities or allergies to strawberries as well.

Here’s the Recipe!

Ingredients

  • 2 medium avocadoes, pitted & roughly chopped
  • 125 mL or ½ cup red onion, rinely chopped
  • 1 fresh mango, pitted peeled & finely chopped to approximately 375 mL or 1½ cups
  • 375 mL or 1½ cups hulled strawberries, finely chopped
  • 60 mL or ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped (optional)
  • 15-30 mL or 1-2 tbsp fresh lime juice, to taste
  • sea salt, to taste
  • corn chips, for serving

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, gently mash the avocadoes, making sure to leave some chunks for texture
  2. Rinse and drain the chopped onion.  This makes the taste of the onions more pleasant.
  3. Fold the mango, strawberries, onions and cilantro into the avocadoes
  4. Season with lime juice and salt, to taste
  5. Serve immediately using your favourite corn chips

note: you can pre-make all of this with the exception of the avocadoes.  Just gently fold in the avocadoes just before serving and it’s as good as made fresh!
