- Serve with my Lime Guacamole
For the Lime Guacamole:
- Cut the avocado in half, discard the stone and scoop out the flesh.
- Mash with a fork, then add the garlic, lime or lemon juice, olive oil and coriander and mashed together well.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover with cling film immediately as it discolours very quickly.
Clodagh's Tip:
To keep your guacamole nice and green, place the avocado stone on top of the dip and cover with cling film.
