Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe avocados
- 1 medium lime
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 1 small jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cumin
Instructions
Begin by cutting the avocados in half, removing the pits, and scooping the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Mash the avocado using a fork or potato masher until you achieve a smooth yet slightly chunky texture.
Roll the lime on the counter under the palm of your hand (this helps to release the juices), then cut it in half and squeeze the juice into the mashed avocado. This will add flavor and prevent the avocado from browning.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl.
Dice the red onion finely, ensuring the pieces are small enough to blend well into the dip, then add to the avocado mixture.
Chop the jalapeño pepper, removing the seeds if you prefer a milder flavor, and add it to the bowl.
Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cumin to the avocado mixture.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until everything is well combined and seasoned.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice as desired.
Transfer the avocado dip to a serving bowl and serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the dip to avoid browning and refrigerate until ready to serve.
