Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted

1 small jalapeño pepper, seeds removed and finely chopped

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil (optional for creaminess)

Instructions
 

In a medium bowl, scoop out the flesh of the avocados and place them in a mixing bowl.

    Use a fork to mash the avocados to your desired level of creaminess (smooth or chunky).

      Add the finely chopped jalapeño, red onion, garlic, and cilantro to the mashed avocados.

        Pour in the fresh lime juice and sprinkle the ground cumin over the mixture.

          Stir everything gently to combine, making sure not to over-mix.

            Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer a creamier dip, drizzle in the olive oil and mix well.

              Taste and adjust seasoning or lime juice, if needed.

                Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a few sprigs of cilantro or additional jalapeño slices if desired.
