Servings: 10
- 3 medium ripe avocados
- ½ cup chopped baby arugula
- 1 medium jalapeño stemmed, seeded and finely diced (about 2 to 3 tablespoons)
- 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 medium garlic cloves minced (about 2 to 3 teaspoons)
- ¾ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- 4 ounces feta cheese reduced-fat or regular, crumbled (about 1 cup)
Halve 1 avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Add arugula, jalapeño, onion, lime juice, garlic, ¾ teaspoon salt, and cumin and mash with potato masher (or fork) until mostly smooth. Halve and pit the remaining 2 avocados. Carefully make ½-inch crosshatch incisions in the flesh with a butter knife, cutting down to but not through the skin. Insert a spoon between skin and flesh, gently scoop out avocado cubes, and add to the mashed mixture. Add feta and gently mash until the mixture is well combined but still coarse. Season with salt to taste. Serve with pita chips. Enjoy!
