Tips:
- For the creamiest spread, use ripe avocados that yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
- If you don't have fresh lemon juice, you can use bottled lemon juice. Just be sure to dilute it with a little water so it's not too tart.
- If you're using fresh cilantro, be sure to chop it finely. You can also use dried cilantro, but it won't be as flavorful.
- If you don't have any red pepper flakes, you can use a pinch of cayenne pepper instead.
- Serve the avocado goat cheese spread with crackers, bread, or vegetables. It's also a great addition to sandwiches and wraps.
