🥗 Ingredients

The photo below is to show you everything you need to make the recipe. For exact measurements, please refer to the printable recipe card.

As you can see, the recipe calls for:

• Avocadoes: I use and recommend hass avocadoes for the recipe. Their texture is thick and creamy which holds up perfectly when blitzed till creamy. Ensure they are ripe (soft) and not firm (hard) at all.
• Sweet Chilli Sauce: store bought is totally fine to use and likely to already be in your pantry. This pairs so well with the avocado, it is a match made in heaven.
• Red onion: sweeter than brown onions, this adds a lovely balance to the recipe combination. We need to be mindful of the quantity we use as to not overwhelm the lovely soft avocado flavour with strong bitey onion flavour.
• Salt and pepper: only a little bit of this is needed, but it works well to season the ingredients in the dip.

To make the dip, start by preparing the avocadoes. Using a knife and chopping board, slice them in half and gently remove the seed.

Next add the red onion to the food processor and blitz this till finely diced. Remove it from the food processor and add the avocado to the bowl.

👍 How to Guide

It is best to serve this dip on the same day it is made. If making slightly in advance, store the dip in a sealed air tight container. Alternatively, transfer to the serving bowl and place cling film (glad wrap) over the top till serving.

How to Freeze

I do not recommend freezing this recipe. It is best served fresh on the day it is prepared.

How to Reheat

This dip is best served cold, however, you can serve with hot or warmed (toasted).

🛎 Tasty Tips

Here are my top tips and tricks so that you can be in the loop from the get go and succeed with the serious yum that is this dip:

• Use ripe avocadoes with no brown spots, that feel soft but not mushy when felt.
• Have some restrain with the red onion as the right amount is perfect, however, too much tastes too onion-ey.
• Same with the sweet chilli sauce, we only need a little bit to tick the flavour boxes.
• Make your own chips to serve with the dip.
• Use the pulse function on the food processor to give you more control on how quickly the ingredients are combined and texture achieved.
