INGREDIENTS:

• 2 ripe avocados
• A pinch of salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon or lime juice
• ½ to 1 ripe tomato, seeds and pulp removed, diced
• 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh coriander
• 1 teaspoon of garlic, minced
• 1 to 2 red chillies, diced (optional)
• ½ cup of red onion, diced (optional)
• To serve: carrot, celery, capsicum sticks or other crudités

METHOD:

1. Halve avocadoes and remove the seeds.
2. Scoop avocado flesh from the skin using a spoon and place into a bowl.
3. Using a fork, roughly mash the avocado flesh leaving a few chunks for texture
4. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and add the lemon/lime juice, which prevents the avocado from turning brown.
5. Add chopped tomato, coriander, garlic, chillies and onion (if using), and mix well.
6. Cover and refrigerate to allow flavours to blend until ready to serve.
7. Serve with a selection of crudités.
