Ingredients

  • 2 medium ripe avocados
  • 2-3 tablespoons lemon or lime juice approx. 1 lemon or lime
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh coriander
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped pickled jalapeños optional
  • ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin powder

Instructions

  • Cut each avocado in half around the pit and carefully remove the pit.
  • Using a spoon, scoop the avocado flesh into a medium bowl.
  • Then mash the avocado with a fork or potato masher until you achieve your desired texture; completely smooth or with a few small chunks remaining.
  • Then add all remaining ingredients and stir through to combine.
  • Taste and add additional salt or lemon/lime juice, if necessary.

Notes

Got leftovers?

Store in a small container that minimises the surface area and thus exposure to oxygen, which is what will cause it to brown. If the surface does turn brown, scoop it off before serving. It should be good for about three days after making.
