I love how easy and flavorful this avocado cilantro chutney is. It brings together the creaminess of avocados and the bright flavors of cilantro, and I can whip up a batch in no time.

Ingredients
Cilantro: The cornerstone of this chutney, cilantro offers a bright, herbaceous flavor profile. For the most intense flavor, use fresh cilantro with tender stems.
Avocado: Choose ripe avocados with a slight give when gently pressed. This will ensure a creamy texture. For a richer flavor, use Hass avocados. I always scoop out the flesh just before blending to ensure it stays fresh and vibrant.
Lemon: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice is essential for brightening the flavors and adding a touch of acidity to balance the richness of the avocado. I recommend using freshly squeezed juice, as it provides a more vibrant and authentic taste compared to bottled varieties.
