- 2 large ripe avocados seeded (I use Haas)
- ½ medium onion halved
- 1 small green or yellow bell pepper seeded and quartered
- 1-2 medium jalapeño stemmed and seeded
- 2 medium cloves garlic
- 1 cup fresh cilantro tightly packed
- ½ cup fresh parsley tightly packed
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoon fresh lime juice or more
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Combine all ingredients except olive oil in the bowl of a food processor. Process until fairly smooth. (If you prefer a chunkier texture, use the pulse button until desired consistency is achieved.)
Transfer to a bowl and add olive oil. Stir until oil is completely incorporated.
Taste and add more salt, pepper, lime juice or vinegar, if desired.
