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)
Directions
Step 1
Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add the fresh lime juice to the bowl to prevent the avocados from browning and add a refreshing tangy flavor.
Step 3
Finely mince the garlic and add it to the bowl with the avocados.
Step 4
Pour the extra-virgin olive oil over the avocado mixture. This will add richness and a smooth texture to your spread.
Step 5
Season the mixture with salt, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper if using. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Step 6
Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lime juice or salt if needed.
Step 9
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.
