Ingredients
- 2 Medium Ripe Avocados
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- black pepper , a generous pinch
- ½ Lemon , juice only, see note 1
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil , see note 2
- 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds , see note 3
- Chili Peppers , to taste, see note 4
Instructions
- Half the avocados and remove pits. Take out the flesh and transfer it into a bowl. Mash it until smooth (or to you liking). Add salt, pepper, lemon juice, olive oil, chia seeds and stir well.
- Taste it and season, if needed. Finely chop chili and either stir it into the spread or just sprinkle some over.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- I used ½ of a small lemon, which was about 1.5–2 tablespoons of juice. You might need more/less, depending on your taste.
- Use either extra virgin olive oil or classic olive oil. I don’t recommend substituting it with vegetable or sunflower oil.
- Chia seeds can be substituted with flaxseeds or omitted if you like.
- Fresh chili is optional but I highly recommend using it. It give this avocado dip a nice spicy kick!
- Store in the fridge in a bowl covered with plastic wrap or in an air-tight container up to 2 days.
