Notes

  • For less heat, omit the scotch bonnet or replace it with a mild chili like pimento or a tiny slice of jalapeño.
  • Can be made up to 4 hours ahead; store with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface to prevent browning.
  • If you prefer a looser dip, add a splash of water or lemon juice during blending.
  • Don’t use overripe avocados, or they will taste flat and discolor faster.
