Ingredients
- 3 Haas avocados
- 2 large garlic cloves pressed
- 1 lime juiced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup finely diced grape tomatoes
- 1/2 cup finely diced red onion
- 1 jalapeño pepper finely diced
Instructions
- Peel, pit, and place the avocados in a mixing bowl, then mash to your preferred consistency.
- Stir in the pressed garlic, lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
- Dice the grape tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño into small, even pieces.
- Add the diced tomatoes, onion, and jalapeño to the avocado mixture and stir until well combined.
- Let sit for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to come together.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve.
Notes
- Choose ripe avocados: Use avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for a smooth mash and consistent texture.
- Adjust heat level: Use less jalapeño for a milder dip or include more for added heat.
- Add cilantro if desired: Finely chop and mix in with the seasonings for a fresh herbal layer.
- Prevent browning: Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before storing to limit air exposure.
