Ingredients
Scale
Avocado Dip
- 2 cups Avocado Anything Dip or pureed guacamole (use double the base recipe to yield 2 cups)
Toppings
- 1 habanero or other small hot pepper, extra-thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons pomegranate arils
- 3 tablespoons salted roasted pistachios, whole or chopped
- 1 small handful fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
- Spread the avocado dip: Use a large spoon to dollop the avocado dip onto a cutting board or platter, then carefully spread it out smoothly using the tip of the spoon, preferably one with a pointed end for better control.
- Add toppings: Evenly sprinkle the thinly sliced habanero, pomegranate arils, salted roasted pistachios, and fresh cilantro leaves over the spread avocado dip to create an appealing layered look with balanced flavor.
- Serve: Present the avocado board with organic tortilla chips, fresh tortillas, or your preferred dipping vehicle for a delicious and crowd-pleasing appetizer.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of habanero pepper according to your preferred spice level.
- For a milder version, substitute the habanero with a sweet bell pepper or jalapeño without seeds.
- Use freshly roasted pistachios if possible for enhanced flavor and crunch.
- The avocado dip can be prepared in advance and refrigerated; add toppings just before serving to maintain freshness.
- Serve immediately after assembling for the best texture and taste.
