Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 0.5 cup red onion (finely chopped)
- 1 piece Roma tomato (seeded and diced)
- 1 piece jalapeño (seeded and finely chopped, optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the freshly squeezed lime juice to the avocados to prevent browning and enhance flavor.
Mash the avocados using a fork or potato masher until you achieve your desired texture (smooth or slightly chunky).
Add the minced garlic, chopped cilantro, finely chopped red onion, diced Roma tomato, and optional jalapeño to the bowl.
Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper, and drizzle the olive oil over the mixture.
Gently fold all the ingredients together using a spatula or spoon until well combined.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper if needed.
Transfer the avocado dip to a serving bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap (pressing it gently against the surface to minimize air exposure), and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Serve the dip chilled alongside tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or crackers.
