# Top Tips:

01 -
  • It takes just minutes to throw together but tastes like youve been perfecting it for years.
  • The brightness of the lime cuts through the creaminess in a way that makes you want to keep going back for just one more dip.
02 -
  • The browning you might notice if the dip sits out is purely cosmetic and doesnt affect flavor, but pressing plastic wrap directly onto the surface prevents this reaction with air.
  • Letting this dip sit for about 15 minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld together in a way that transforms it from good to cant-stop-eating-it delicious.
03 -
  • Always prep your garlic and jalapeño first, then let them sit while you handle the avocados, allowing their flavors to bloom before mixing everything together.
  • If your avocados arent quite ripe enough, wrap them in newspaper with a banana overnight, as the ethylene gas will speed up the ripening process naturally.
