Avocados are in season and extremely affordable right now. The smooth flavor of the chiles, sharp onions and bright citrus complement the cool creaminess of the avocados. It's a beautifully balanced dip.
Technique tip: If your avocados are not ripe enough, put them in the microwave for 5 seconds.
Swap option: Any citrus will work beautifully; grapefruit would be a wonderful swap.
