Start cooking

Serves: 8

|
1 tsp. avocado oil 12 scallions, roots trimmed and 2 inches of the dark green discarded 4 ripe, Fresh California Avocados*, peeled and seeded 1 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice 1 1/2 tsp. olive oil 1/2 cup minced sweet onion 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves 1/4 tsp. toasted and ground cumin seed 2 crisp Granny Smith apples, cored and cubed As needed Kosher salt, to taste As needed Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  1. Place a large cast iron skillet on the stove over medium-high heat.
  2. Add avocado oil, then add the scallions. Turn on the hood vent. Cook scallions without moving them; we want them pretty charred on one side. After about 5 minutes, turn them over and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove scallions from pan and let them rest on a paper towel for 1 minute.
  3. Place the charred scallions on a cutting board and cut them into ½ inch pieces.
  4. Put in a mixing bowl and add the avocado and the lime juice. Lightly mash the avocado with a fork, add olive oil, onion, parsley, cumin and apple.
  5. Mix then season with the salt and pepper, and mix again.

Serving Suggestion: Serve with freshly made tortilla chips.

*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.

There are hundreds of avocado varieties grown in California, and to avoid injury you should never cut an avocado while holding it your hand.

As with all fruits and vegetables, wash avocados before cutting. Check out our tips for how to choose and use California Avocados
