Ingredients

  • 2 avocados very ripe
  • 2 limes juiced
  • 2 tbsp red onion finely diced
  • 1 tbsp cilantro finely chopped, optional
  • 1/4 tsp each salt & pepper

Instructions

  • Mash avocados in a large bowl, then juice limes. Add lime juice, finely diced red onion, finely chopped cilantro and salt. Mix together, but don't overmix. Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!

Notes

Serving size is 2 tablespoons.
Use ripe avocados that give slightly when pressed—they’ll mash easily and give the creamiest texture.
For a milder flavour, soak chopped red onion in cold water for 5–10 minutes before adding.
Add the lime juice right after mashing to help prevent browning.
If you like extra texture, mash one avocado smooth and leave the other slightly chunky.
