Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Begin by cutting the avocados in half, removing the pits, and scooping out the flesh using a spoon.
In a medium-sized bowl, add the avocado flesh and use a fork or potato masher to mash it until smooth.
Add the lemon juice to the mashed avocado to prevent oxidation and browning.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl with the avocado mixture.
Sprinkle black pepper and garlic powder onto the avocado mixture.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the mixture.
Gently stir all ingredients together until well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust the flavor by adding more black pepper or lemon juice, if desired.
Serve the avocado puree immediately as a spread, dip, or topping.
