I got this wonderful recipe from Everyday Food program on PBS. What a wonderful and natural dip full of nutritious ingredients! It is also a perfect dip for summertime.
With mango and avocado that have high content of beta carotene and omega-3 fatty acids... what else can we ask for?
Ingredients:
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice, (about 2 limes)
- 1 Serrano chili, minced (ribs and seeds removed for less heat, if desired)
- 2 ripe avocados, pitted, peeled, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 mango, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
Peel mango and discard the skin. With a knife, slice off wide, flat part of fruit on both sides of pit. Trim flesh from pit (discard pit) Place parts cut side down; slice in half horizontally. Cut crosswise into thin strips; cut strips lengthwise into pieces.
In a medium bowl, combine avocados, mango, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and serrano chile; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Fold gently, leaving texture chunky.
Serve with colorful tortilla chips for garnish.
Enjoy!
