How to Make Avocado With Groundnut Dressing

1. Peel 2 ripe avocados, remove the pit, and cube the flesh into 1-inch pieces.
2. Place the avocado cubes in a medium bowl and toss gently with the juice of 1 lime (or 1/2 lemon).
3. In a food processor or using a mortar and pestle, grind 1/2 cup of roasted unsalted peanuts until you have small, chunky pieces (do not make a peanut butter).
4. In a small bowl, combine the ground peanuts with 1 tablespoon sweet paprika (or hot paprika for extra heat), 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and a pinch of salt.
5. Sprinkle the peanut spice mixture evenly over the avocado. Gently toss to coat.
6. Garnish with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped chives before serving.
