Sunflower Guacamole
Crunchy, Living Nutrients in Every Bite
Traditional guacamole gets a vibrant, nutrient-dense upgrade with the addition of fresh sunflower shoots. When you harvest greens directly from your Seasonal Garden Kit or a specialized Microgreens Garden Kit, you are capturing life-force energy and enzymes that vanish in store-bought produce. This homegrown sunflower guacamole is rich in healthy fats and boosted by the plant-based protein and Vitamin E found in sunflower microgreens. It’s a bright, textured, and incredibly fresh way to enjoy a harvest that goes from soil to chip in seconds.
Ingredients:
- 2 avocados
- Juice of ½ lime
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅔ cup roughly chopped sunflower microgreen shoots
- ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
- ½ jalapeno, finely chopped
Directions:
Place the avocado, lime juice, and salt in a bowl.
Mash the ingredients together until you reach a chunky, consistent mixture.
Gently stir in the chopped sunflower microgreens, red onion, and jalapeno.
Pro Tip: If keeping leftovers, place a thin layer of water over the surface of the guacamole during storage. This acts as a barrier to oxygen to keep browning at bay. Pour the water off before serving and give it a quick stir.
