We’ve taken a classic guacamole dish and put a spin on it by adding blueberries. Once you’ve tasted Blueberry Guacamole you will want it all the time!
Blueberry season sweeps in like a fire ball and we jump on the wagon so we can eat as many as possible before the season ends!
BC Blueberries have arrived in the stores/markets and I couldn’t be more excited. It’s one of my favourite times of the year. Growing up in BC, my mom used to grow all kinds of berries and vegetables plus had several fruit trees in our yard. Enjoying fresh produce like this every Summer was sure a great way to grow up. I’m always giddy when the fresh BC produce arrives in Alberta.
I am excited to be attending the BC Blueberries 2015 Kick Off to the Season Launch in Calgary this week. I always get inspired and want to create new recipes with blueberries when I know this event is coming up and the blueberries arriving in Calgary. This blueberry guacamole happened almost by accident. Eating blueberries along side guacamole and I decided to combine the two into one bite. I was sold, it’s seriously delicious. Even my guacamole loving kid loved the addition of blueberries. I might try fresh cherries next.
Here’s how you do it.
Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries halved if big
- 1 tbsp fresh jalapeno diced small
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 tbsp cilantro chopped
- 1 tbsp green onion sliced thin
- olive oil
- salt
Instructions
- Mash avocados in a bowl.
- Mix in blueberries through green onion and a good pinch of salt.
- Drizzle with olive oil and serve with crackers, pita chips or tortillas.
Someone sent me four pints of blueberries and I had four avocados, limes, and a bunch of cilantro, so I said WHY NOT! If it weren’t for the chips dipping into it, I’d tout it as extremely nourishing! And it truly is if you eat it by the spoonful!
I think cherries would be ultra yummy!
Something to try in the summer!
I guess you could dip fresh vegetables to make it extra healthy!
