Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 small garlic clove
- 4 whole cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
Add the lemon juice to the avocado to prevent browning and enhance the flavor. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky.
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove, then add it to the bowl.
Dice the cherry tomatoes into small pieces and finely chop the fresh parsley. Add them to the avocado mixture.
Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture, then sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Mix everything thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Serve immediately as a spread on toast, as a topping for crackers, or as a dip with fresh vegetables.
