Notes
Tips for making this spread
- choose ripe avocados
- serve this spread soon after it's prepared to avoid the avocado browning - however the lemon juice prevents the avocado oxidising quickly
- if you aren't a chilli fan, start with a smaller amount of chilli and taste to get the right amount of heat for you
- If you want a chunky spread, simple mash the avocado with a fork and mix in the remaining ingredients.
Other serving suggestions
- thin with a little water and use to dress a salad
- spread on sandwiches instead of butter
