Greek Guacamole

Bowl of our delicious Greek-inspired Guacamole made with sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, lemon juice, and oregano

How much do I love avocados? Let me count the ways.

1, 2, 3, 4…

Allow me to add one more: Greek Guacamole. Hello.

Avocado, sun-dried tomatoes, parsley, lemon, red onion, tomatoes, oregano, and spices for making Greek-Inspired Guacamole

This recipe inspired by my love for all things Mediterranean food, and, of course, guacamole. How have I not combined the two sooner?

The idea is simple! Swap traditional guacamole ingredients–like lime and cilantro–for Mediterranean-friendly flavors–like lemon, sun-dried + fresh tomatoes, oregano + parsley, and kalamata olives. Plus, just 8 ingredients, 1 bowl, and 10 minutes required.

The result is a savory, extremely flavorful dip that’s like guacamole, but on a whole other level.

I hope you guys love this dip! It’s:

Creamy
Savory
Fresh
Greek-inspired
Packed with veggies + herbs
Super healthy
Satisfying
& Simple

This would make the perfect dip to go alongside Mediterranean-inspired entrées, especially my Mediterranean Baked Sweet Potatoes, Chickpea Shawarma Salad, Chickpea Shawarma Sandwich, and Easy Vegan Falafel.

You can dip it with virtually anything, even tortilla chips! But my favorite is pita chips. Serious yum.

      I totally agree! That spin on guac sounds scrumptious. Been in such a Greek mood lately. My parents just got back from a month in Greece and Turkey and brought me back this absolutely fabulous dress. So I tried to order another one from the website on the tag. But the whole website is in Greek and I can’t read it so I’m unable to order unless I can find someone to can read Greek! And I don’t know anyone who can! Until then, I’m just going to make this and get all Greek.

    Any tips for keeping the guacamole from not turning brown the next day?

      Of course, guac is best fresh. But the lemon juice will help it from turning. Also, when you refrigerate it, make sure you have plastic wrap in contact with the surface so air isn’t able to reach it!

        You can prevent avocados/guacamole from browning by simply placing a chunk of raw onion in the storage bag or container with it.

    There’s currently a shortage of avocados in Australia due to bad weather but this looks do good that I think I’ll have to make it anyway! I’ll be leaving the olives out of mine and perhaps substituting some lime juice :-)

    Totally thought the sun-dried tomatoes were bacon bits there for a second :p This sounds like a fun tweak on the regular guac!

    Dana, this was great! I had all these ingredient on-hand and loved how simple, yet flavorful it was. I did leave out the oregano and added salt. It was perfect for dipping carrots and throwing on top of my salad.

    I made this on Saturday for company and it was delicious! I had a Greek main dish so served this with drinks before hand. Everyone loved it! It looked gorgeous. The flavor was complex with the sundried tomato, olives, lemon. It was a home run! I served it with pita chips.

    I don’t understand how this is “Greek” all of the replacement ingredients that according to the author in someway differ from the traditionally “Mexican” guac are in fact Mexican ingredients. You’re telling me Mexico doesn’t have sun dried tomatoes too? please.
