Directions:

Toast the pepitas in a skillet over medium heat until they are fragrant and slightly brown. If using sprouted pepitas, it’s okay to skip this step as they have the desired crunch already.

Transfer to a bowl and set aside. In a food processor or blender, combine the avocado, cilantro, jalapeño, garlic, and salt. Blend to desired consistency. Add the pepitas and blend until chopped. Add 2 teaspoons of the lime juice, then pulse a few more times (you may add more to desired taste).

Pro Tip: To store, use the remaining teaspoon of lime juice to sprinkle over top of the dip so that it doesn’t turn brown, and cover tightly in the refrigerator. Use within 3 days.
