Avocado guacamole
Description
A delicious appetizer for any gathering. Traditionally, guacamole sauce is served with corn nacho chips. They can be replaced with any other chips, as well as crispbreads, baguette, and even croutons. The sauce pairs perfectly with fish dishes, for example, red fish steaks. I made this sauce with hot pepper, garlic, and cilantro. But its main ingredients are considered to be avocado, lime, and salt. The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.

Step 1
For this appetizer, you need to choose the right avocado. It should not feel rock-hard from the outside when you press on the skin. First, let’s prepare the vegetables. The avocado, lime, herbs, and peppers need to be washed and dried.

Step 2
Cut the avocado lengthwise with a sharp knife into 2 halves. Inside, you will see a large pit. To remove it, tap it with the knife blade and twist. Then scoop the flesh out of the tough skin of the fruit. Cut the flesh into pieces and immediately drizzle it with lime juice; 1–2 tbsp is enough.

Step 3
Now the avocado flesh needs to be mashed. Some do this with a fork, some with a mortar and pestle, some with a blender. It all depends on your preference. The sauce can be completely smooth, like cream, or it can contain partially ground pieces. Both options are acceptable.

Step 4
Now we move on to the remaining ingredients. For greens, I used cilantro. I chop it with a knife. I peel the garlic and finely mince it. I remove the seeds and everything unnecessary from the sweet and hot peppers. I finely dice them.

Step 5
I take a blender and chop the ingredients, but not into a cream, so that the pepper pieces stand out. I add olive oil and salt, mix everything together. I serve this unusual appetizer to the table together with chips.
