Servings 4 portions
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados 400g peeled and pitted
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- ½ cup diced tomato 80g
- ¼ cup finely diced red onion 40g
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro optional
- ½ teaspoon sea salt adjust to taste
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder or a few drops of Tabasco for spice
Instructions
- First, halve avocados, remove pits, and scoop flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth or slightly chunky, per preference.
- Next, add lime juice, tomato, onion, cilantro (if using), and salt. Stir gently to combine. Add chili powder or Tabasco for heat, if desired.
- Then, taste and adjust salt, lime, or spice to your liking.
- Finally, serve immediately with Healthy Homemade Nachos or lettuce wraps for tacos. Pair with Sweet Potato Canapés for a party spread.
- Cover tightly with a silicone lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate at 5°C (41°F) for up to 4-6 hours. Consume quickly to avoid browning.
Notes
- Choose Ripe Avocados: Soft but not mushy, otherwise, flavor may be off.
- Use Fresh Lime Juice: Prevents browning and boosts taste, for example, avoiding bottled versions.
- Mash to Preference: Chunky or smooth, thus, customizing texture.
- Store Tightly: Use airtight covering, so, maintaining freshness for hours.
