Avocado Spread Recipe

     Back to Blogging !! With a simple recipe. We used to buy Avocado occasionally. I did not know to make any other variation than a simple guacamole for a burrito or an avocado basil pesto for pasta which is even more rarely made at home. 
     When we went to Michigan this summer to a relatives house, I got to taste this super-easy and yummy variation along with multigrain and nuts bread :) yummmmm.   Once we came back from the trip, I bought 2 avocados to try this out. One thing I love the most is that the avocado spread is a no-cook recipe.  Definitely a very cool and filling option for a breakfast !!

Okay let us go on to the recipe.....

Prep Time: 10 mins || Cook Time: N/A || Category: Spreads/Dips || Serves: 3

Ingredients:
1. Avocado - 2
2. Tomato - finely chopped (1 tbsp)
3. Onion -  finely chopped (1 tbsp)
4. Coriander leaves - finely chopped
5. Lemon - 1 small (based on need)
6. Salt - as required

Method:
1. Cut the avocado into half vertically. Deseed and scoop out the avocado flesh with a spoon into a bowl. Mash it well. 

2. To the avocado pulp, add finely chopped onion, tomato, coriander leaves.
3. Add required amount of salt and lemon juice and mix well for the ingredients to blend.

Suggestions:

• Selecting ripe avocados or ripening the avocados properly is the key to a tasty avocado spread. Buy green avocados with multiple brown or black spots in them. Keep them in the countertop near stove for 2 or 3 days. Check periodically for ripening. Once ripe, they will achieve a uniform brown color and will look slightly firm when held in hand but will feel soft when slightly pressed.
• Give wings to your imagination and add italian seasoning, herbs, chopped basil etc for additional flavor. 

Tastes very good with a simple bread toast / french bread. Also goes well with chappathi/roti or as a dip for a variety of chips.
