Lemon-Miso Guacamole

A love note to miso: Dear miso, I love you spread on toast with a drizzle of honey. I love you in a pasta sauce. I love you as a base for soup. I love you in my morning oatmeal. I love you with my favorite tahini sauce, draped over roasted veggies or chicken. And most recently, I love you in guacamole. Recipe below

Ingredients

• 1 ripe avocado

• 1 heaping teaspoon of miso paste (mellow/sweet miso)

• Juice of half a medium lemon

• 1 small shallot, minced

• Optional: mix in a sprinkle of any of the following / anything else you’d like: dried turmeric, black pepper, aleppo pepper, cayenne, fresh cilantro or other fresh herbs

How to make it

Mix all together, add more miso/salt to taste. Enjoy with tortilla chips / your crunchy vessel of choice.
