Low Oxalate Kitchen Guacamole

If you’ve been looking for the perfect healthy, gluten-free, dairy-free, 

low oxalate snack, you are in luck! 

Guacamole is one of my all-time favorite things to eat, and I especially 

love it for its versatility. It’s perfect for eating right out of the bowl, 

scooping up with any of your favorite veggies, or putting a spoonful or 

two on top of your lunch or dinner to add a little spice to your life. If you

are wondering how in the world guacamole can be low in oxalate, 

the answer is it definitely can, but you have to watch for a couple of 

details. Depending on which resource you use to get your oxalate values,

avocados can be anywhere from low oxalate to very high oxalate. I follow

the Trying Low Oxalates list, so I make sure I buy Hass avocados, and 

wait until they are just to the point where if they get any more ripe they 

won’t be edible. The more ripe the avocado is, the less oxalates it will 

have. If you want, add some diced cucumber to the recipe for a little bit 

of crunch, or some cayenne pepper for a little extra flavor and an extra

kick! Let me know what you think or what else you are looking for in the 

comments below! I especially hate when I have to scroll down for what 

seems like hours on a blog post to find a recipe, so, without further ado…

Ingredients



Instructions

  1. Dice up the onion, garlic, jalapeno and cilantro and add to a mixing 
  2. bowl. Add lime juice and give it a quick stir. (I like to do this step 
  3. first, this way I don’t overmix the avocado once it's in the bowl. It 
  4. lets you keep a few chunks of avocado so the finished product has 
  5. some more texture and isn’t too creamy.)
  6. Add the avocado to the bowl, and add salt directly on top of the 
  7. avocado. I don’t know if it’s true, but it seems like adding salt any 
  8. other time/not directly to the avocado doesn’t allow it to bring out 
  9. all of the flavor of the avocado.  
  10. Give it a quick mix to your desired consistency, and enjoy!

*To store any leftovers, add a little bit more lime juice to the top of the 
guacamole after you put it into a container, or lightly press down a piece 
of saran wrap to the top of the guacamole. Being in contact with the air 
will make it turn brown faster, so the lime juice or the saran wrap will 
keep it from spoiling faster.
