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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

4. Add the extra virgin olive oil to the mashed avocado mixture and stir well to combine, ensuring a silky texture.

Step 5

5. Season with sea salt, garlic powder, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.

Step 6

6. For added flavor, finely chop the fresh cilantro (if using) and fold it into the avocado puree.

Step 7

7. Taste the puree and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to suit your palate.

Step 8

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.
