How to Make Avocado With Groundnut Dressing
- Peel 2 ripe avocados, remove the pit, and cube the flesh into 1-inch pieces.
- Place the avocado cubes in a medium bowl and toss gently with the juice of 1 lime (or 1/2 lemon).
- 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).
- 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.
- Sprinkle the peanut spice mixture evenly over the avocado. Gently toss to coat.
- Garnish with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped chives before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
