  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Avocado Spread Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe avocados
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (or lemon juice)
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the avocados: Slice the avocados in half and carefully remove the pit. Keep the pit aside to help with storage later. Scoop the avocado flesh into a medium bowl.
  2. Mash the avocado: Using a fork, mash the avocado flesh to your preferred consistency — chunky or smooth.
  3. Add flavorings: Stir in the fresh lime juice, minced garlic, and salt, mixing well to combine all the flavors evenly.
  4. Storage: Transfer the avocado spread into a container with a lid. Place the reserved avocado pit into the spread to help prevent browning. Seal and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

  • Leaving the avocado slightly chunky adds nice texture; mash to your preference.
  • Lime juice not only adds a fresh flavor but also helps slow oxidation and browning.
  • The avocado pit in the spread is a traditional method to keep leftovers fresh longer.
  • Use fresh garlic for best flavor; adjust quantity to taste.
  • Store in an airtight container and consume within 4 days for optimal freshness.
