IT’S ABOUT DARN TIME! Prepare to have your avocado world rocked by this Asian Guacamole. Whenever we make something like our favorite Asian Meatballs with Cauliflower Fried Rice, I always want to add avocado to it. Both because I love my healthy fats and because we always have an avocado on hand that is one day away from going bad. I usually just mash up the avo with coconut aminos, garlic powder, ground ginger and salt, and slap it on top, but today I wanted to elaborate on that general idea. To amp it up even more I added chopped water chestnuts & green onions, and topped it with toasted sesame seeds and some seaweed!
Now this goes great with those Paleo Sesame Crackers I made earlier this week or even chopped bell peppers, but I think putting it on my Asian Stir-Fry Frittata might be life changing. I will report back! When I was shopping at Ralphs for this recipe , every avocado was perfectly ripe. It was almost scary because I wanted to pick the best one but they were all SO GOOD. Then I went cray cray and bought 5. I used 2 for this recipe and the other perfectly ripe ones were donzo the next day. Nothing makes me more sad than throwing out avocados. 🙁 Okay well that’s a bit dramatic I guess.
All you need to do now it go get some avocados and make this ish HAPPEN!
When I dip you dip we dip!
Pin it!

YES! This looks so good Kelsey. And I can’t believe I’ve never seen this before, but you are an innovator with Sweet Potato toast being the one that comes to mind. I would love to try this next time we have avocados. I love anything Asian themed.
Thanks Emily!! We cook asian themed all the time and love guacamole so it was bound to happen eventually!! I hope you try it and love it!! 🙂
Ah yes! People always load their burrito/mexican bowls with guac, well now we can load out SUSHI bowls with it too! <3
YUP YUP!! The best!! 🙂
I’m forever juggling avocados and bananas that are a day away from going bad! In fact I have three avocados right now so that is perfect. Love your Asian take on guac.
Thanks Nancy!! Me too!! I have also seen people freeze avocados (already pitted) and put them in smoothies! Gotta try that too 🙂
