There are no unnecessary additions here, just the bright clean flavors of avocado, lemon or lime, and garlic. No tomatoes or cilantro to distract from the contrast between rich, buttery avocado and tart citrus. Mashing salt into the garlic softens and rounds out the flavor, without completely taming it. This dish is good with chips or raw vegetable as a side, spooned over chili or served with grilled meats.
