and simmer for 10 minutes.
Preparation time: 15 to 20 minutes
Serves 2 to 4
Ingredients
Preparation
Dice the onion and place in a pyrex bowl. Add a 1/16 teaspoon sea salt to the onion and gently mix. Add ½ teaspoon umeboshi vinegar to the onions, mix all ingredients together with your hands, and set aside while you prepare the other ingredients.
Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit and the fruit.
Place avocado in a bowl together with the marinated onions and the liquid from the onions. Add the cilantro and peppers and the remaining ¾ to 1 teaspoon umeboshi vinegar to taste. Add the lime juice and gently mix.
*This guacamole recipe keeps longer than other recipes because of umeboshi vinegar. The pickled onions balance the rich vegetable fat of the avocado. Therefore, you can store the healthy guacamole in a glass or earthenware bowl together with the pit (to maintain freshness). Remove the pit before serving. Serve with good quality corn chips (again made with non-GMO, organic corn and sea salt), lightly blanched or raw carrots or celery sticks, or top off a vegan rice and macrobiotic burrito.
