Make Guacamole Using Essential Oils!

When I spot avocados ripening on my counter, I’m often inspired to make fresh guacamole for my family, but I don’t always have fresh cilantro or lime on hand. Luckily I always have my stash of essential oils ready to go! Did you know you can use essential oils when making snacks and appetizers like guacamole? Let me show you how.

Ingredients:

2 avocados (ripe)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 red onion, chopped
4 drops cilantro essential oil
2 drops lime essential oil
pinch of sea salt

Instructions:

Mash avocados into a bowl with a fork. Add minced garlic and chopped red onion. Add oils and pinch of salt and mix to combine. Serve with gluten-free chips or sliced veggies.
