What is Guacamole?

What is Keto Guacamole made of?
Keto guacamole is made with the same ingredients as traditional guacamole. In fact Keto guacamole and standard guacamole are one and the same thing. What makes it a Keto guacamole is the quantity of the mix ins.

How to make Keto Guacamole?
I once saw a waiter make guacamole in a Mexican restaurant. Guacamole is always made fresh in a restaurant because you don’t want The guacamole to go dark on you because of oxidation.
While she made it I watched closely and asked questions even though I tried not to ask her for the exact measurements of the mix ins. Since I cook a lot and I have a keen eye for details, I was able guesstimate the quantity of the mix ins. Needless to say this recipe tasted as delicious as the recipe in that restaurant.
I have seen a lot of recipes use garlic but she didn’t use garlic. Though I have made guacamole with and without garlic and both tasted amazing I kind of favor the recipe with garlic better.
I have also seen recipes that skip the tomatoes. That would definitely make this dip fit into a lower carb variety if this already low carb guacamole dip.
So if you are thinking of further lowering the carbs in this dip, you can skip the tomatoes, reduce the onions and probably skip the garlic too. The good thing about guacamole is that it is easily adjustable to your taste.
