- 1 small jalapeƱo pepper ribbed, seeded and minced
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro minced finely
- 3 Tablespoons lime juice
- 2 Tablespoons lime zest
- 1 Tablespoon orange zest
- 2 Tablespoons orange juice
- 1 clove garlic grated on the microplane
- 1/4 cup red onion minced finely
- 1 tablespoon of good extra virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling
- 3 large *perfectly ripe* avocados
- 1 teaspoon mineral salt
Combine all ingredients except avocados and salt in a medium bowl.
Fold in diced avocado pulp and salt then mash delicately- leaving plenty of chunks.
Stir well then serve topped with cilantro leaves, thin-sliced orange and a drizzle of good olive oil.
Store leftovers in an airtight container with plastic wrap or parchment pressed directly atop to prevent air from entering- your guacamole will stay bright for a day or two!
