Questions

Is there a substitute for cilantro in Guacamole?

The entry for Guacamole calls for 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped. In its place: Flat-leaf parsley with a squeeze of lime, for anyone who tastes soap. The dish loses its signature note but stays fresh.

How hot is Guacamole?

Moderately. The heat in Guacamole comes from 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced. For a milder plate, remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeño, or use half; nothing else in the method changes. For more, add it at the table rather than in the pot, so everyone sets their own level.

Is Guacamole low-carb?

A serving of Guacamole carries 5 g of carbohydrate, 3 g of it fiber. Against a strict 20 g keto day that is 25 percent of the budget; against a moderate 100 g low-carb day it is 5 percent.

How many carbs are in Guacamole?

One serving (the recipe makes 6) has 5 g of carbohydrate in about 120 calories, with 2 g protein and 10 g fat, plus 3 g fiber and 180 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

How long does Guacamole keep?

Refrigerate what is left of Guacamole within two hours and eat it within three days. It is served cold; there is nothing to reheat. Leafy parts wilt first; store them apart if you can.
