They were perfect. Sadly the dog broke the pestle and mortar recently in his haste to get to the bread rolls when I was out. Or maybe it was because he wanted to lick out the dressing in the mortar. Either way, I am pestle and mortarless.
So the avocados were mashed up with a fork, with a couple of cloves of garlic, both lemon and lime juice, and cilantro/coriander. I left some chunky pieces of avocado in for texture really. I would have added a few grains of salt - if I'd had a pestle and mortar. I sprinkled a small amount of cayenne on the finished salsa.
In the past I've added tomato, and/or onion, but I thought these two avocados were too perfect to adulterate. And like gazpacho, where I don't bother adding chopped tomatoes, cucumber or onion, sometimes less is more.

they certainly look like the most perfecto avocados to me.
I am so envious!
I love guacamole......but living in the frozen north there are no avocados worth guacamoling.
When I can get Avocados Ripe and Ready, I also like to eat 'em simply sprinkled with fresh lemon/lime juice and lots of freshly ground black pepper.
Letty ;0D Who still seems to be suffering from many curls........ just don't mention the words "I am thinking of taking up golf lessons" to me.
Enough for many curls to appear.

I have found the perfect supplier here in the UK of avocados.
Good old Marks and Spencers. Their ripe and ready ones are wonderful.
