By BobLongo

Ingredients

• 1 large avocado, peeled and pitted
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lemons, juiced
• 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
• 1/2 cup chopped seeded cucumber
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
• salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the avocado, garlic, lemon juice, sour cream and cucumber. Mash with a fork until smooth. If your avocado is not quite ripe enough, you may wish to use a food processor. Season with red pepper flakes, cilantro, mint, salt and pepper, and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
