- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 whole garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop out the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the fresh lime juice to the avocados to prevent browning and to add a citrusy flavor.
Peel the garlic clove and mince it finely. Add the minced garlic to the bowl with the avocados.
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves finely and add them to the mixture.
Drizzle olive oil over the avocado mixture to add smoothness and richness to the spread.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.
Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the mixture until it reaches your desired level of creaminess and consistency.
Taste the spread and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper if desired.
Transfer the spread into a serving bowl and enjoy immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
