Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups avocado dip (store-bought or homemade guacamole)
- 1 habanero (or other small hot pepper)
Toppings:
- 3 tablespoons pomegranate arils
- 3 tablespoons salted roasted pistachios (whole or chopped)
Herbs:
- 1 small handful fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the canvas by spreading the creamy avocado dip across a rustic wooden board or ceramic platter, using a spatula to create elegant, undulating peaks and valleys that showcase the dip’s luxurious texture.
- Carefully scatter vibrant habanero slices across the verdant surface, allowing their fiery red hue to contrast against the pale green backdrop.
- Sprinkle ruby-like pomegranate arils with a delicate hand, ensuring even distribution that provides bursts of sweet-tart flavor.
- Gently cascade roughly chopped pistachios over the dip, introducing a satisfying crunch and nutty undertone to the creamy foundation.
- Delicately garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, its bright green leaves adding a herbaceous aroma and visual appeal to the composition.
- Present the board alongside an array of accompaniments such as crisp tortilla chips, warm flour tortillas, golden sweet potato fries, artisan seeded crackers, or slices of crusty French baguette to complement the rich, complex avocado creation.
Notes
- Customize heat levels by removing habanero seeds for a milder version or adding more for extra spice.
- Prep pistachios quickly by lightly toasting them in a dry skillet to enhance their nutty flavor and crunch.
- Create a dairy-free alternative by using extra-virgin olive oil instead of any potential dairy-based additions to the avocado dip.
- Extend board life by adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the avocado to prevent browning and boost brightness.
