Ingredients:

  • 3 Large Ripe Hass Avocados (approx. 600g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion (40g), finely minced
  • 1/3 cup Fresh Cilantro (15g), chopped
  • 1 Small Jalapeño (15g), de-seeded and minced
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice (30ml)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cumin

Instructions:

  1. In a large non-reactive mixing bowl, combine the minced red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, salt, lime juice, and cumin.
  2. Stir the aromatics and let them sit for 2–3 minutes. This maceration process uses the lime juice to break down harsh sulfur compounds in the onion.
  3. Cut each avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and score the flesh into a grid pattern.
  4. Scoop the avocado cubes into the bowl with the macerated flavor base.
  5. Use a sturdy dinner fork or potato masher to mash the avocados to your desired consistency, leaving some chunks for an artisanal texture.
  6. Fold the mixture together until the seasoned aromatics are evenly distributed and serve immediately.
