Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 2 cloves of fresh garlic
  • 1 lime
  • a pinch or two of sea salt (to taste)
  • cilantro for garnishing (optional)

Instructions

  • Peel the avocados and cut out and discard the pit.  Add the green fleshy part to a bowl.
  • Finely chop or, better yet, press the garlic using a garlic press. The smaller the pieces of garlic, the better.
  • Wash and halve the lime, and squeeze its juice into the bowl over the avocados and the garlic.
  • Add a few pinches of salt to the bowl.
  • Mash everything together with a fork just until the avocados are smooth with a few small chunks.
  • Give it a taste and if you think it needs a little more personality, add another pinch of salt and give it a quick stir. 
  • Garnish with a little bit of fresh cilantro and that's it!
