Treat your ingredients with care...

• Avocado — Make sure to use ripe avocados for the best flavor and texture. They should be slightly soft to the touch but not overly mushy.
• Lime — Roll the lime on the countertop before juicing to extract maximum juice. You can adjust the amount of lime juice according to your taste preference.
• Jalapeno — Adjust the amount of jalapeno according to your desired level of spiciness. Remember to remove the seeds to reduce the heat.
• Garlic — Mince the garlic finely to evenly distribute its flavor throughout the dish.
• Cilantro — Wash the cilantro thoroughly and chop it just before adding it to the dish to retain its freshness.

Tips & Tricks

• For a creamier texture, blend the avocado mixture in a food processor instead of mashing it with a fork.
• Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick of heat.
• Customize the dish by adding diced tomatoes, red onions, or corn kernels for added texture and flavor.
• Serve Avocado Delight with tortilla chips, pita bread, or as a topping for grilled chicken or fish.
• To prevent the avocado from browning, cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap, ensuring it touches the surface of the avocado mixture.

Serving advice

Serve Avocado Delight as a dip with tortilla chips, or spread it on toast for a delicious and healthy breakfast option. It also pairs well with grilled meats and vegetables.

Presentation advice

Garnish the Avocado Delight with a sprig of fresh cilantro and a lime wedge to add a pop of color. Serve it in a bowl or on a platter, allowing the vibrant green color to shine through.
