Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 0.125 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the fresh lime juice to the bowl to prevent the avocados from browning and add a refreshing tangy flavor.
Finely mince the garlic and add it to the bowl with the avocados.
Pour the extra-virgin olive oil over the avocado mixture. This will add richness and a smooth texture to your spread.
Season the mixture with salt, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper if using. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl.
Using a fork or an immersion blender, mash the ingredients together until you reach your desired level of creaminess. For a chunkier spread, mash with a fork; for a smoother version, use the immersion blender.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lime juice or salt if needed.
Transfer the avocado spread to a serving dish and enjoy it immediately with low-carb bread or as a dip for vegetables. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
