Ingredients

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 6 sprigs of cilantro
  • 2 key limes
  • 1 tablespoon habanero chile hot sauce or the hot sauce of your choice
  • a pinch of salt if needed
  • corn chips crackers or toast for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Finely chop the garlic clove.
  2. Remove the cilantro leaves from the stem and chop.
  3. Squeeze the juice from the limes into a mixing bowl.
  4. Remove the flesh from the avocados and add to the bowl.
  5. Then, place all of the ingredients in the mixing bowl except the salt.
  6. Mash with a fork until you get the desired consistency. We like it a little chunky. You can also blend it in the blender if you prefer it creamy.
  7. Check the salt and add as needed.
  8. Serve in your favorite serving bowl for dipping. You can also use it as a topping for nachos.

Notes

  • Use 2 tablespoons of hot sauce if you want it really spicy.
  • You can serve the dip on toast as a tasty variation of avocado toast.
  • It will last for 1 day in the refrigerator. The lime juice will keep it from going brown.
  • It does not freeze well.
