How to Make Avocado With Lime And Chilies

  1. Zest one lime and juice ½ lime into a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, and 1-2 finely chopped chili peppers (adjust to your spice preference).
  2. Whisk all dressing ingredients until thoroughly combined and well emulsified.
  3. Gently toss 2 ripe avocados (cubed or scooped) with the lime dressing.
  4. Serve immediately as a tangy side salad, or chill for later. Pairs perfectly with fish, shellfish, chicken, or meat dishes.

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!
