    Squeeze the juice from the limes into a mixing bowl. Remove the flesh from the avocados and add to the bowl. Then, add the remaining ingredients except for the salt.

    Preparation Spicy Avocado Dip

    Mash with a fork until you get the desired consistency. We like it a little chunky. You can also blend it in the blender if you prefer it creamy.

    • Remove the cilantro leaves from the stem and chop.
    • Squeeze the juice from the limes into a mixing bowl.
    • Remove the flesh from the avocados and add to the bowl.

    Notes

    • Use 2 tablespoons of hot sauce if you want it really spicy.
    • You can serve the dip on toast as a tasty variation of avocado toast.
    • It will last for 1 day in the refrigerator. The lime juice will keep it from going brown.
    • It does not freeze well.

      It is not necessary to pick the leaves off the cilantro stems. The stems are just fine. In Mexico, the stems are always chopped with the leaves. On the other hand, parsley leaves normally are pulled from the stalks before chopping.

      In my humble opinion, there is way too much mayonnaise.
