This classic version is fresh, simple, and all about ripe avocados and bold flavors.

Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 lime juice
- 1.5 tomatoes deseeded and diced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ½ red chili finely chopped
- Salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- (Optional) Small handful fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped
Instructions
- Cut 2 ripe avocados in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the pits (use a spoon if unsure with a knife). Scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash it with a fork. Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the mashed avocado.
- Tip: Keep the pit in the bowl to help slow browning.
- Quarter 1.5 tomatoes and remove the seeds. Dice the flesh finely. Mince 1 clove of garlic and ½ red chili (adjust to taste).
- Add the tomatoes, garlic, and chili to the mashed avocado. Stir in a small handful of finely chopped coriander (if using). Taste and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to use—or dig in right away!
