Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

4 avocados, pitted
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
Juice of 1 lime
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
1/3 cup finely diced red onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4–1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste

Herbs

1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped basil
2 tablespoons chopped chives
1 tablespoon chopped tarragon

For Serving

Broccoli, snow peas, asparagus, and/or tortilla chips

Instructions

Prepare the base: In a medium bowl, combine the pitted avocados, plain Greek yogurt, lime juice, lemon juice, finely diced red onion, minced garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Use a fork to mash the mixture until you reach your desired guacamole consistency, whether chunky or smooth.
Add fresh herbs: Stir in the chopped cilantro, basil, chives, and tarragon until evenly distributed throughout the guacamole, ensuring the fresh herb flavors meld nicely.
Season to taste: Taste the guacamole and add up to an additional 1/4 teaspoon of salt if needed to enhance the flavors. Mix well.
Serve: Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and enjoy it immediately with your choice of raw vegetables like broccoli, snow peas, asparagus, or with crunchy tortilla chips for dipping.

Notes

Using Greek yogurt adds creaminess and a slight tang while boosting protein content.
Adjust the salt to your preference, but start conservatively as the flavors intensify over time.
For a spicier kick, consider adding finely chopped jalapeño or a dash of cayenne pepper.
This guacamole is best served fresh; if storing, cover tightly with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface to minimize browning and use within 24 hours.
You can customize the herb combination depending on availability or personal taste.
