Ingredients

  • tablespoons smooth almond butter 
  • 0.3 cup almonds toasted sliced
  • 1.3 pounds avocado pitted ripe halved ( 3 medium)
  • 0.5 cup apricot dried ( 10 to 15)
  • tablespoons cilantro leaves fresh coarsely chopped
  • teaspoon kosher salt as needed plus more
  • tablespoons juice of lime as needed freshly squeezed plus more (from 2 medium limes)
  • 0.5 medium serrano chiles stemmed seeded finely chopped

Equipment

  • bowl
  • plastic wrap
  • potato masher

Directions

  1. Scoop the flesh from the avocados into a large bowl. Mash with the back of a large fork or a potato masher to make a chunky paste.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients except the almonds and stir to combine. Taste and season with additional lime juice and salt as needed.
  3. Garnish with the almonds (if using) and serve immediately or place a sheet of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole and refrigerate for up to 2 hours. (The plastic wrap will keep the guacamole from turning brown.)
