In reply to Mary. I have found a way to have near perfect avocados most of the time. I but the ones that are more green than brown in colour, and with the end either still having a bit of stem or looking like the stem was only recently removed. Then, I put them, one at a time, in a paper bag on the counter for a couple of days, checking once in a while to see if they are starting to feel just a bit softer. If I don’t use the whole avocado, I cover the cut end by covering it with a small pieces of a plastic bag (one of the rare times I deliberately put plastic against my food), and or turn it upside down to block any air getting to it. These little actions have been yielding great results for me for months now.

Oh thank you Kate! This is probably one of the best Kale recipes I’ve seen! You are such a creative cook. Thank you!

So tasty! Made this for my “book club” and it was very well received. Like guac but creamier and will make again :-P

I’m “all kaled out,” and lacinato, even though I actually love lacinato and red Russian varieties, doesn’t seem to like me any more. But your guac looks very pretty, and very healthy! And I’m delighted to see a guac recipe without tomatoes… so many think tomatoes are mandatory, but in Mexico, many places don’t add them. If I store the leftover in the fridge, the tomatoes weep into the guac, and store-bought romas are so pale… so I don’t add tomatoes. I like to blend in frozen peas for sweetness, green color, and to lighten it up, and I also routinely add a touch of spirulina powder, which makes it even greener and super nutritious. I hand-stir fresh cilantro at the end so it’s visible. Basically, put in whatever makes you smile. There are all kinds of variations in Mexico! :). Just wanted to complement you for a super healthy, pretty variation.

I just wish that some day they’d develop an avo that didn’t reach its peak of ripeness for just two hours, while I’m asleep! LOL!

This was a hit at our July 4th cookout. My teenager loved it. When I told him there was kale in it he was surprised but said “I’ma fan!”

My friend ALWAYS makes your perfect guac for get togethers, and passed along your recipe. I’ll be making that, and also this kale version in the near future. Thank you. Brilliant site.

In reply to Arlene. Did you remove the membranes and seeds? If so, and it was still to spicy, I recommend just omitting it. Hope this helps!

If jalapeños are just too spicy, what can I use instead. Love your site and recipes. Also I’m a dog lover!

This is really delicious! Even my family members who don’t like kale liked it. I will definitely be making this again. Thanks for another great recipe!
