This easy recipe is perfect for using up your ripe avocados. Best served fresh. I also like to cut out some of the water and use as a dip for carrots, pita bread, etc. Great with noodle salads too!

• 2 large, ripe avocados, peeled pitted and diced
• 1 large garlic clove, minced
• Handful of fresh cilantro leaves
• 5 tablespoons water, plus more if needed
• 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
• 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
• Sea salt, to taste

DIRECTIONS

Combine all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. Add more water for a thinner consistency. Season to taste; serve chilled.
