1
Prepare the Ingredients
Start by gathering all the base ingredients: avocados, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, green chili, and salt. If using optional ingredients, gather olive oil, pepper, and diced tomatoes as well.
2
Chop the Vegetables
Finely chop the cilantro and green chili. Crush the garlic cloves. Set aside in a bowl.
3
Cut the Avocados
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.

4
Blend the Main Ingredients
Add the chopped cilantro, lime juice, crushed garlic, green chili, and salt to the avocado in the blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
5
Add Optional Ingredients
If you are using olive oil, add it to the blender now for a richer flavor. Optionally, add diced tomatoes for added texture. Blend again until well combined.

6
Taste and Adjust
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary. You may add more salt or lime juice to enhance the flavor.
7
Serve
Transfer the Es Verde mixture to a serving bowl. Serve as a dip with tortilla chips, or as a spread on toast or sandwiches.
