Ingredients
2
ripe avocados
1/2
cup
sour cream
1/4
cup
homemade or jarred salsa [this
Green Tomato Jalapeno Salsa
is our favorite]
1
garlic clove
Juice of 1/2 lime
1/2
– 3 teaspoons green jalapeno hot sauce
1/4
teaspoon
salt
Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half and scoop flesh into a bowl.
Mash coarsely with a fork or potato masher.
To the mashed avocado, add the sour cream and salsa.
Chop the garlic clove very finely, or use a
microplane
to mince it right into the bowl.
Add the lime juice, the hot sauce [use the smaller amount of hot sauce and taste before adding more], and the salt.
Chop the cilantro leaves fairly finely and mix in. Enough to suit your own taste - I used a couple tablespoons.
Blend everything together with a wooden spoon, taking care to leave a bit of the chunky texture.
Chill for a hour or so to blend the flavors, stir and taste.
Add more salt or hot sauce as needed.
Serve right away - to store, press plastic wrap right on the surface of the dip and use within 24 hours for best flavor.
