My love affair with avocados really began when I started dating my husband, Cole. Not only does Cole make amazing guacamole (it’s a secret family recipe), but his parents live in San Miguel de Allende, where the ginormous avocados are just waiting to be smashed into this avocado spread.
Team Fit Foodie has since added many avocado recipes to our repertoire. And? they’re not all edible! Our DIY Oatmeal Avocado Face Mask highlights the benefits avocado has on your skin.
How is avocado spread different than guacamole?
While avocado spread and guac are VERY similar, avocado spread is a true spread. That means, that there are no chunks and other add-ins involved such as onion, tomatoes, or jalapeños.
- Avocado: Make sure the avocados are ripe! You’ll know when they’re ready when the skin gives slightly to pressure.
- Lime juice: Freshly squeezed is best, but bottled will also work.
- Avocado oil: We kept to the avocado theme and used avocado oil, but you can also use olive oil if that’s what you have on hand.
- Sea salt: This brings out the flavor of the avocado and helps to balance out the creaminess.
- Garlic: This recipe uses 1 teaspoon of garlic, but if you’re a garlic fiend, feel free to add more!
- Fresh cilantro: This is optional, but it adds a nice flavor and color to the spread.
- Food processor: Making this avocado spread in a food processor is the easiest and quickest way, but you can also use a blender or mash everything together by hand.
What if I don’t like cilantro?
Now, we know some of you are not huge cilantro fans, and that is OK! Swap out the cilantro and lime juice for basil and lemon juice. It is just as delicious AND nutritious!
