  1. Cut the avocados in half lengthways, remove the stones and peel. Put the avocado in a food processor with the lime juice, Tabasco, garlic and sea salt. Blend until you have a light, elegantly pale green cream.
  2. Transfer the cream to a bowl, cover and chill until ready to serve. To serve, drizzle with a little oil then scatter over the snipped chives. Serve as a dip with tortilla chips or rice crackers.

    Great dip - I loved the zingy taste of it. I served it with Nachos, Olives, Humous and sundried tomatoes as starter nibbles. Delicious!

    Didn't have tabasco, so chopped a dried chilli instead. Really lovely, totally addictive - couldn't stop eating until the bowl was clean!

    simple and tasty. I'm sitting at the computer with a bowl of this dip and and a packet of tortilla chips and it's very good. I'm having a night in and can't be bothered making much just for myself - this takes seconds to make and works well.

    just made this to go with quesadillas served al fresco, delicious. And not too spicy for the kids, they love it.
