🥗 Ingredients

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

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.

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

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

• 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.
