eglwaernk Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I'm thinking about making guacamole but don't know what to eat it with if not tortilla chips! I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for a good alternative to chips with guac! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted January 5, 2017 Administrators Share Posted January 5, 2017 Everything? Dip chicken in it, put it on baked potato, smear it on hamburger patty, dip cooked carrots/green beans in it? Put it on thick soups or chilis? I love steamed brocoli topped with scrambled eggs, topped with sauerkraut, topped with guac. SO good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh the Irony Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I made simple guac the other day and just ate it with a spoon! One of my grocery stores has carrot slices that would make a perfect vehicle for guac. I think that's what I'll do next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trina Jackson Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 My favorite is celery or endive leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebe_J Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 In addition to the above suggestions: bell pepper strips, cucumber slices... The list goes on. I have used guacamole as a sub for mayo in tuna or chicken salad...quite tasty. I love it on eggs with a little salsa, too. My supermarket had avocados for 39 cents each, so I stocked up.

Cut them open and they are too ripe, so I wait until they are black and then they are too far gone. Ugh! I've made such progress on using fresh produce, but avocados are eluding me and I hate throwing them out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crastney Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 great tip if you're buying Avocados with stems still attached, however, every single avocado that I've ever purchased, ever, has always been without a stem. so I give it a bit of a squeeze, if it feels rock solid it's not ripe enough, if it gives a little bit then it's about right, and if there's a lot of give then it needs eating today, or it's too ripe.

Brittani Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I found compliant Kale chips to dip in guac. Carrots are pretty good too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crastney Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 they are usually 2 for £1 in Fresh and Fruity on Sydenham High St. my reciept from Sainsbury says that the ripe and ready to eat ones in packs of 2 cost £1.90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hbombdiggity71 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I dip my carrot sticks in the guac. If I make eggs, I usually dip my eggs in it too. I'm not a fan of eggs but love them when I eat them with guac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made such progress on using fresh produce, but avocados are eluding me and I hate throwing them out! Make a medium-tight fist. Press on the webbing between your thumb and the back of your hand. That is what a perfectly ripe avocado should feel like when you squeeze it. Any harder, it's underripe. Relax your hand - that's too ripe. Keep in mind that avocados go from ripe to overripe in the blink of an eye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smashley110 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 sometimes for breakfast i dip my compliant bacon in guac... almost like a chip haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayw Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I really don't need anything but a spoon, some protein (think tomatillo roasted chicken or a bowl of venison chili), a raw veggie like red bell peppers or snap peas, or a roasted potato to pair for super-combo flavors, but I will say that I recently added jicama "tortillas" and jicama "sticks" to our menu, and they are a nice crunch w/ some guac! The jicama tortillas are at Central Market and HEB stores in Texas, but I suppose you could slice your own VERY carefully ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
