Ingredients:

  • 3 large (approx. 15 oz / 425g) ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup (40g) red onion, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp (8g) fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) fine sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 cup (60g) toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

Instructions:

  1. Place the peeled avocado halves into a large bowl. Using a fork or masher, press down firmly until the avocado reaches a velvety consistency with a few small chunks for texture.
  2. Fold in the diced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper using a gentle stirring motion to ensure even distribution.
  3. Stir in half of the toasted pepitas into the mixture for internal crunch.
  4. Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and press the remaining pepitas onto the top. Optionally, garnish with pomegranate seeds or a spiral of pumpkin puree.
