Easy Keto Guacamole Recipe with Lime Pieces [Paleo, Keto]
One of the things I love about traveling is experiencing new food and learning new ways to use ingredients.
Recently, in Portugal, I started noticing that many of the dishes used lemon and lime with the peel on. So the entire citrus fruit was used to give a stronger flavor as well as texture. So, for this Keto guacamole recipe, I used a slice of lime diced up with the peel on. It added an extra burst of lime flavor to the guacamole that made it stand out.
This keto guacamole recipe is great for those on a ketogenic diet as instead of using regular tomatoes, I only used 2 small cherry tomatoes to keep the net carbohydrate count low.

What to eat this easy keto guacamole with?
I really like to use guacamole as a side dish to add extra flavor to wraps or meats or even eggs. Here are a few ways to use this easy guacamole dish:
How to make Easy Keto Guacamole with Lime Pieces
Step 1:
Cut the avocado in half and mash it up.
Step 2:
Finely chop the cherry tomatoes, 1 slice of lime with the peel on, and the fresh cilantro. (If you don’t have fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro, but I find the flavor of the fresh herb adds a lot to guacamole.)
Step 3:
Add the dice tomatoes, chopped lime, lime juice, and chopped cilantro to the mashed avocado.
Step 4:
Add in the onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (optional) and salt to taste. Using onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper means you don’t have to spend time chopping up more vegetables. So this guacamole recipe is faster to make than many others.
Step 5:
Mix well and serve immediately.
Here’s another guacamole recipe, but this one is for the non-keto peeps as it’s served with a batch of tortilla chips.
