Mashed Avocados with Sesame and Chili
- Makes4 servings
- Cook Time10 minutes
This dish is called a salad but is really more like a dip, a sort of Levantine guacamole. Spices, yogurt and lemon juice add layers of earthy flavor and bright acidity. We liked it served with pita chips, but it can also be served as a side dish with grilled or roasted meats and seafood.
Tip
Don't use underripe avocados. Their flavor isn't as full and fruity as fully ripe avocados, and they don't break down to a rich, creamy consistency. Don't mash the avocados until completely smooth; some lumps make the dish more satisfying.
