Hello lovelies, guacamole is always a yes in our house – but in summer I'm especially fond of this Mediterranean guacamole with feta, olives and sun-dried tomatoes. It tastes like a little holiday by the Mediterranean: creamy, savoury and full of sunshine. At every apéro on the terrace, this is the bowl that empties first.

The base is two ripe avocados, which I mash with a fork and mix straight away with lemon juice so they stay nice and green. Then in go finely diced tomato, red onion, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and oregano – that gives the guacamole its typically Mediterranean character.

To finish, I fold in crumbled feta and a few basil leaves. The feta brings a salty, creamy note that harmonises beautifully with the avocado. I serve it with crispy grissini and fresh baguette – that's all you need for a perfect summer evening.

If you love dips and apéro ideas as much as I do, do also try my fruity sweet strawberry guacamole, my creamy Mediterranean avocado dip and the sociable finger food with bread for dipping.

TIPS

Verena's notes

Tip from my kitchen: stir the lemon juice into the mashed avocado straight away – it keeps the guacamole greener for longer. I fold in the feta and basil only at the end so they don't break down. For a creamier dip, mash the avocado finer; if you like chunks, keep it coarser. A pinch of chilli or a few capers makes the Mediterranean note even punchier.

Frequently asked questions

  • The lemon juice in the recipe slows oxidation noticeably. If you're not serving the Mediterranean guacamole right away, smooth the surface, drizzle a little olive oil over it and press cling film directly onto the surface. It stays bright green for several hours that way.

  • It tastes best fresh. You can chop the tomato, onion, olives and herbs ahead of time and fold everything into the mashed avocado just before serving. Once mixed it keeps, covered, for about a day in the fridge.

  • Crispy grissini and fresh baguette are the classic dippers. It's just as good on an apéro board with veggie sticks, crackers or flatbread, or spread on toasted bread.

  • A ripe avocado yields slightly to gentle thumb pressure without being mushy. If the little stem cap lifts off easily and is green underneath, it's perfect. Too-firm avocados ripen in a day or two at room temperature next to an apple or banana.

  • Plain avocado guacamole freezes reasonably well, but this Mediterranean version doesn't: the feta, fresh tomato and onion turn watery and lose their bite after thawing. So mix it fresh and enjoy it within a day or two.
