Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Start by selecting ripe avocados. They should yield slightly to gentle pressure when squeezed. Cut each avocado in half lengthwise. Twist the halves in opposite directions to separate them, then remove the pit using a spoon.
Scoop the avocado flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl using a spoon, discarding the skin.
Add lime juice, salt, and extra virgin olive oil to the avocado in the mixing bowl.
Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocado mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. For a smoother puree, use an immersion blender or a food processor.
Taste the puree and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the avocado puree to a serving bowl or an airtight container if storing. If not serving immediately, cover the surface of the puree with plastic wrap to prevent oxidation.
Serve as a dip with chips or vegetables, or use as a spread or a sauce base. Enjoy!
