2 tablespoon (medium) of Mashed avocado with lemon (50 g) has 84 calories. That works out to 167 calories per 100 g. It contains 4.6 g of carbs, 1.1 g of protein, 7.6 g of fat and 3.5 g of fiber. Its 0.7 mg of B5 covers 14% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 10 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Mashed avocado with lemon is made by crushing ripe avocado and mixing it with lemon juice. Avocados originated in Central America, while this simple preparation is now enjoyed in many cuisines. It can be left slightly chunky or mashed until smooth.
The texture is creamy and soft, with lemon adding a bright, tangy note. It is often spread on toast or served as a dip, alongside eggs, vegetables or crackers; a little salt and fresh herbs are common additions. Avocado makes it relatively rich in fat, while also providing fibre: 100 g contains 6.9 g. For a lighter snack, use a modest spread and pair it with crunchy vegetables.

Mash ripe avocado with a fork, then stir in lemon juice and seasonings such as salt and pepper. Stop mashing when it reaches your preferred texture; leaving a few chunks gives mashed avocado with lemon a fresh, substantial feel.
Lemon juice slows browning but does not stop it completely. Store mashed avocado with lemon in an airtight container, press wrap or a lid close to the surface, and refrigerate it promptly to limit contact with air.
Mashed avocado with lemon is best eaten the day it is made, though it can generally be kept refrigerated in an airtight container for about a day or two. Discard it if it develops mold, an off smell, or an unusual texture.
Yes, mashed avocado with lemon can be frozen, but thawing may leave it softer or watery. Freeze it in a tightly sealed, small portion, thaw it in the refrigerator, and stir well before serving.
You can add chopped cilantro, minced garlic, red onion, chili, or black pepper to mashed avocado with lemon. Mix in small amounts and taste as you go, so the extra ingredients do not overpower the avocado.
For a smooth texture, use a very ripe avocado and mash it thoroughly with a fork or potato masher. For an especially even spread, pulse the avocado and lemon juice briefly in a food processor, scraping down the sides.
Mashed avocado with lemon pairs well with toast, eggs, crisp vegetables, and sandwiches. It also works as a topping for grain bowls; add it just before serving so the warm ingredients do not dull its fresh flavor.
Yes, you can make mashed avocado with lemon a few hours ahead, but it is freshest when prepared just before eating. Refrigerate it in a tightly covered container with minimal air space, then stir and taste before serving.
Yes, lime juice can replace lemon juice in mashed avocado with lemon, although it gives the dip a different, sharper citrus flavor. Add it gradually and taste as you go, since lime can become prominent quickly.
Choose an avocado that yields slightly to gentle pressure but is not mushy. An underripe avocado is hard to mash and can taste grassy, while an overripe one may have dark spots and an unpleasant texture.
