Ingredients
3 large Hass avocados
1/4 cup finely minced red onion
1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro
1 small serrano pepper, seeded and diced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pits with a chef’s knife.
Scoop the avocado flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
Mash the avocado lightly with a fork until desired rustic, chunky consistency is reached.
Fold in the minced red onion, freshly chopped cilantro, and diced serrano pepper.
Drizzle the fresh lime juice over the mixture to preserve the vibrant green color and balance the flavors.
Sprinkle the sea salt over the mixture and gently fold everything to combine.
Notes
Choose avocados that feel heavy for their size as they contain the best oil content.
Store with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent oxidation.
Keep the pits in the bowl if not serving immediately to help keep the dip green.
