Avocados have 20 different vitamins and minerals, rich in fiber and healthy fats. They are weight loss friendly, heart friendly and simply delicious! Ingredients: 1 small ripe tomato 2 ripe avocados ½ clove minced garlic 2 tbs diced red onion 1 tbs fresh lime juice 2 tbs minced fresh cilantro Add garlic, onion, lime juice and ½ tbs of sea salt into Laevo Cook mortar and mince it with the pestle. Then scoop out the avocado flesh and roughly mash. Add tomatoes and cilantro and mix with a spoon before serving. Eat right away or cover with silicone lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 hours. Enjoy! BEFORE FIRST USE Step 1: Season the mortar with white rice, grind until it turns into powder. This will allow to remove any granite dust and slightly polish the mortar. Step 2: Remove the rice and add garlic, cumin, salt and pepper then grind. After that rinse with warm water and air dry. Avoid using soap as it may flavor the food. NOTE: This product is made of natural stone and its color and structure may be uneven. White/beige color vertical or horizontal lines that may look visually like cracks are parts of natural stone and not a defect. If you gently rub the area with the finger and it is smooth then it's not a crack, otherwise you would feel unevenness or even sharpness of the edge of a crack. “Do it right the FIRST time” 1.
