Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine onion, cilantro, garlic, tomato, lime juice, and hot sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and allow to sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes so the flavours combine.
  2. Cut avocados in half, rotating the knife around the seed. Remove seed and spoon the soft flesh into the bowl with the onion mixture. Mash slightly with a fork but keep some pieces of avocado intact.
  3. Add lentils and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Spoon guacamole into a serving bowl and garnish with reserved cilantro. Serve with nachos or as a garnish.

Quick tip: Try adding chopped mango to this recipe for a bright and fresh twist!

For a spicy option, add chopped fresh jalapeno!
