Holy Mole-y

1 avocado
1/4 tbsp turmeric
1/4 tbsp galingale
1/4 tbsp sumac
1 tbsp cilantro
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Use as many organic ingredients as possible.

Put the flesh of the avocado in a cereal bowl, discarding the skin and the seed. Slice it up with a knife into small bits. Add the dry ingredients first, mixing well with a fork. Then add the lime juice and olive oil, mixing it all together and smashing it up into a smooth-ish consistency. It won’t be pretty, but it will be tasty.

This is better created in a bowl instead of a blender. You’ll be able to eat all of it this way.

Makes two servings. Eat immediately, as it will not keep.

I created this because I like guacamole for the avocado but not for the raw onions and the green and red peppers that are often included. This has a lot of flavor and no salt added. If you can’t find those dry ingredients, try basil and cumin. A little black pepper is nice too.
