Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 piece Jalapeño pepper
Instructions
Begin by cutting the large avocados in half. Remove the pits and scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
Add lime juice to the avocado in the bowl to preserve its vibrant color and to integrate a zesty flavor. Mash the avocado using a fork or potato masher until you reach your desired consistency.
Drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil, which will enhance the creaminess of the spread.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro leaves and add them to the mixture for an herby freshness.
Mince the garlic clove and add it to the bowl for a hint of aromatic pungency.
Season the mixture with kosher salt, to draw out flavors, and black pepper for a subtle kick.
Carefully de-seed and finely mince half of a jalapeño pepper, adjusting the quantity to your spice preference, and stir it into the avocado mixture.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until everything is well-combined and the spread is creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary, adding a touch more salt or lime juice if desired.
Serve immediately as a topping for grilled chicken or fish, or as a refreshing dip for fresh vegetables.
