The only way to make avocados better is to turn them into AIP Guacamole. This paleo guacamole is nightshade free and made with only fresh ingredients for an authentic flavor. This recipe fits the Paleo, AIP and Whole30 diets.
How do you make guacamole dip from scratch?
I had never tried guacamole or even seen an avocado until I first visited California. It’s hard to believe now but 20 years ago, they weren’t quite as popular. Avocados are so abundant here in California that people give them away. I took advantage but I had no idea how to make guacamole so I would add the packets of spices (and I now know – chemicals!) to try and make my own guac.
This is AIP guacamole is so easy to make and there’s no chemicals included, just fresh ingredients. If you can chop and mix, then you can make this recipe. All you need to do is chop up your shallots, garlic and cilantro then mix them with your mashed avocado, lemon and salt. Super easy! It’s so easy that I can’t believe someone didn’t intervene at the grocery store and stop me from buying those dumb packets!
Is guacamole Whole30?
Yes! This recipe is made with whole ingredients that fit the Whole30 template.

Tips to make the best AIP Guacamole
