Ingredients

  • ½ cup cilantro (coriander) leaves firmly packed
  • ½ small red onion chopped
  • 1 lime - juice only
  • 1 long green chilli ribs and seeds removed (see my notes)
  • 2 ripe avocados I use Hass
  • 1 teaspoon good quality mayonnaise
  • pinch of cooking salt to taste

Instructions

  • Place cilantro (coriander), onion, chilli & lime juice into a small food processor and process until very finely chopped - you may need to scrape the sides occasionally.
    ½ cup cilantro (coriander) leaves, ½ small red onion, 1 lime - juice only, 1 long green chilli
  • Add avocado flesh & mayonnaise and process until smooth.
    2 ripe avocados, 1 teaspoon good quality mayonnaise
  • Add salt to taste and serve immediately.
    pinch of cooking salt

Notes

  • This recipe makes about 1 ½ cups - but it will depend on the size of your avos.
  • A note on the amount of chilli - I think one chilli with the ribs and seeds removed is a good starting point. You just get a slight hum of chilli, but you could leave the ribs and seeds in to up the heat factor - or just add more! Whatever takes your fancy.
  • The reason I have added mayo (and not much) is that I didn't want an overpowering taste of mayonnaise, but I find the mayo helps the dip stay nice & green without discolouring when it's on the table.
