Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
1. Start by preparing the avocados. Cut each avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl using a spoon.
2. Add the fresh lime juice to the bowl with the avocado. This will not only enhance the flavor but also prevent the avocado from browning.
3. Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the avocados until smooth. You can leave some small chunks if you prefer a chunkier texture.
4. Add the extra virgin olive oil to the mashed avocado mixture and stir well to combine, ensuring a silky texture.
5. Season with sea salt, garlic powder, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
6. For added flavor, finely chop the fresh cilantro (if using) and fold it into the avocado puree.
7. Taste the puree and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to suit your palate.
8. Serve immediately as a dip, spread, or as an accompaniment to your favorite Paleo dishes. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
