Avocado Tomato Spread

Avocado tomato spread is the ideal base for a bread spread because of its creamy, velvety texture. It's high in vitamins and mono-unsaturated fats, and it's also good for you. Make sure you're using ripe avocados that aren't overripe. The pulp should be pale green in color and easily mashable with a fork.

For 4 people: 1 ripe avocado, 1 avocado, 1 avocado, 1 avocado, 1 avocado, 1 avocado, 1 avocado, 1 avocado, 2 coarsely diced sundried tomatoes in oil (or 1 medium fresh tomato), 4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 12 tsp ground black pepper, 4 tbsp basil leaves (torn), lemon juice, 2 tbsp.

Method:

• Gently fold in the chopped tomato, oil, salt, pepper, basil, and lemon juice after mashing the avocado pulp with a fork.
• Garnish with a sliver of lemon and a few basil leaves. Notes: Notes: With the avocado, it’s best to still be firm if you’re doing a dip, so it can be in chunks. For a sandwich spread, though, let it soften so it can be mashed and spread more easily.
